Before I weld I just grab the angle grinder and go over it a few times. If it starts to spark I try to do a little more grinding before my next weld.

 

Oh okay just wondering. I know I usually try to wire to bare metal then wipe with acetone

 

I love the rack and the HID lights. Great job!

 

Thank you!

 

Nice rack!! Lol.. Seriously going to try and copy your design. If you were going to do it over again, would you stick with same gauge or thicker? And do you have a cut list you wouldn't mind sharing? Awesome job though!

 

Naw the gauge is plenty thick for my application. Other than what's posted in this thread, I don't have any lengths. I could probably grab some if you tell me what else you need.

 

Just a teaser.. Work still in progress.

 

Looks heavy

 

that will survive the apocalypse... would look nice on a bobbed deuce an a half.

 

It looks pretty meaty, but I used some thin wall stock, so it is still pretty light.

 

Here is my submission based off this thread..still need to work out the wiring lol.

 

All these racks just have me drooling....... lol so am reading correct most of the metal if you have to buy it is around 60-80$ unless you find some laying around?

 

Nice Racks!

 

I now have to sudden urge to go make one of these, even though I have never welded a day in my life. They both look great!

 

I had never used one either; get someone to teach you or just teach yourself!
