@@usarmy500 it was about 7 years ago when I purchased the lift. Went to their site and I guess they don’t sell them anymore.

@@airgnm613 I’m in the same boat. Took my car for final body work and paint and started on a 84 Chevy K10 truck. Got the truck running and driving so going to have same painter paint it and then get back to the Firebird. So I still haven’t fired it up.

@@bngrepair I believe that was the wire in the machine was already a gas shielded wire, so I just used it. Here’s a a link a did a quick google search on that explains more www.millerwelds.com/resources/article-library/solid-wire-versus-flux-cored-wire-when-to-use-them-and-why

@TurninNBurnin i have used both for years. I have never run them together. On typical steel less then 3/8" i have used both. I thought maybe there was a benefit of welding flux core and gas together. The build looks great.

@ I honestly don’t know. I started welding many moons ago but was mainly doing quarry repairs or fab using stick in the field. Thank you! I sold this truck a few months ago. I’m building an 84 K10 truck now. Getting close to finishing. I haven’t been doing videos as it’s time consuming to film and edit.

@@timmymims6946 when changing out an old bent we will piggy back it and remove old belt as it pulls the new one. This was the first belt to go on the system. We didn’t have or didn’t want to rent a roll up machine and had the fork lifts to just hang it. Definitely using a roll off or winder works great. As far as cutting to length it’s just better to splice in place. This conveyor wasn’t designed. It was built in place from point A to point B. So no real drawings. Also if for some reason the bent gets hung up or rips the holes or is a few feet short somehow, then the precut and drilled was a waist. Also there will be some stretch in these belts over time and will need to be cut and respliced. Hope I was able to answer your questions.

Interesting, what type of belt is this? And weight? Is there adjustment on each end or just 1? Even with drawings I measure with around pulleys with them sucked in & account for 1-2% stretch to make sure, and on heavy load belts like this maybe 4% …i distribute for PCI Mfg & few other places

@@joselopez3607 if my memory serves correctly, think I showed in the video how we built a shelf in the main area to build up material and it would wear rock and sand on rock and sand. Widen out the discharge opening and installed AR400 wear plate on areas that could see wear. Not sure how long this one lasted but the idea is before it wears through the AR plate they can replace it. All depends on the aggressiveness of the aggregate hitting the west spots and normally it’s a good practice to install a west plate, plastic or other medium to slow the wear.

That was awhile back so I don’t remember. Probably around a 200’ conveyor and I’d assume 3/8” cable.

I found a good body man and painter. The car is at his place now. I decided to let someone else finish painting it. Just got too overwhelmed.

Thanks muchly for the feedback!

It’s called a joke video I’m sorry you didn’t get it

I believe it was a place in new Braunfels, Tx. I asked Mike how bought it. Hopefully he will get back to me or comment.

Thank you for watching! Lots of work to record and edit videos and felt like they were not being watched much. I do have some videos I need to edit and you’ve made me feel like uploading them. Other thing is I haven’t really been on jobs the entire time, I come and go to different sites. So need to figure out a way to put that type of video together.

@TurninNBurnin I build and maintain plants as well and just started making my own videos. I was watching all your stuff from the start and you really inspired me. Your edits and music are awsome, I really do hope you do more! By the way, how is Nolan doing these days? My daughter loves his welding job video, would love to see more of him too. Thanks so much for getting back to me. If you build it they will come 😉.

@@repaircollc thanks man! I’ll definitely do some more. Think I just needed a little break. Nolan’s doing well, he turns 17 in a few days. Been wanting to get him back in the shop again.
