Your fabrication skills are seriously impressive. I love learning and getting ideas from you man!

[@tombrenes2411]

Love all the hard work Awesome content Great build series

[@mattw4662]

U-pol is a good weld through primer. I use it on panel replacement in the auto body side of welding

[@sas86toy]

Love rear frame bar looks good, can’t wait to get back on mine again.

[@mechmike4349]

Upol copper. All weld through primers effect the weld somewhat.😊

[@probie-3085]

Wurth zinc rich weld thru primer is the best one I have found so far . Good luck 👍👍

[@mikeingalsbee2959]

Steel-it works great. I like it because you can work in stages and not worry about rust between work sessions.

[@douggrunberg]

Thank you! Looking good!

[@RM_Garage]

Looking really good dude. I like what you did with the rear of the frame, looks killer!

[@brandonboulton2776]

Looking good brother 👍. I'm working on my KEI truck today. Tie rod ends, idler arm, control arms, alignment, and bushings. ALWAYS pushing.

[@ronthompson2366]

Eastwood self etching weld through primer.... @20 bucks per can... Everything is looking good. 👌

[@jonathanemocling3826]

Build looking good

[@DFCustomPro]

Hello I like you're video,and for welding primer I recommend copper weld true it sold by Kent I don't know if you have that there, I use it for 20 years just put one light coats and let dry 20 minute

[@Kingsize24]

Definitely Steel it! Use it all the time.

[@Blacksheeprc2024]

Tacoma screw brown weld threw primer bud you can get local here in spokane.

[@eclifton4070]

SteelIt is the best I have come across. Give it a try since you have some.

[@thenovascotiabarndoor1954]

Best weld through primer is the one you remove before welding. Haha I use a high zinc primer and a very small wire wheel on a drill to remove at weld time. For plug welding cut a drill bit flat to clean the holes. Nice work. Did you consider lifting the body off for welding?

[@ALLaboutGAMINGxCHAOSxHOLLOWx]

legend has it, the mosquito is still feasting to this day... lol love the videos man

[@BHess1993]

Hey man, I just discovered your channel, liked all of your videos so far! I’m a boilermaker by trade, I work in many different types of industrial plants, have encountered many different types of “weldable” paint/primer, it’s all garbage to weld. You’re doing the right thing by just tack welding things in place and then grinding as best you can. If you still get porosity, grind it out and weld it again… What is the degreaser you use? It would be cool if you did a video on some of your favorite products!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you! That’s pretty much the consensus, all weld through primers suck haha I use simple green hd degreaser

[@BHess1993]

Thanks, my first truck ever was a 1992 Toyota. I just picked up a 1990 4x4 Toyota chassis I’m going to build. Currently trying to find some rust free body parts.

[@TheRightLine]

I like it. Looks good. I was just watching a video on the channel Muddy Beard and he had some c channel frame failures on a pickup. Yours looks stout AF. Good job.

[@mrhaydennz]

Looks awsome. Curious as to why you chose not to strip the frame apart to start sand blast and coat the inner frame before you started plating though? Whats your plan for inside the rails?

[@christophersalinas5063]

Awesome skills , would love to learn .

[@plowboycustomfab1562]

Loving the frame plates. I'd be interested in buying dxf files for them for my fj40 im building. Great build. Keep it up. 👍

[@petar443]

Using 3m 5917 primer.2 coats with 5-10 min flash time between.When the second coat flashes i clean where the plug weld hole will be with dremel abrasive..Then i do test weld on CLEAN metal piece with the same thickness and fine tune the welder. THEN INCREASE this setting with 20% more when actually weld to burn the primer and have a good weld. In collision repair , weldthrough primer is at dispute..Search "FCA explains ban on weld-through primer".

[@tommyrazor11]

Steel-It is what my Welders swears by

[@waqaszafar8513]

Superb

[@حسينمكطوف-غ1و]

هذه عمل جميل جدا ❤❤❤

[@liamcan3262]

upol copper weld through primer. i have hit the chassis with a blow torch after cleaning it with strip disc/acetone and then acetone again. seems to pull a lot of the oils up and out of the steel. I dunno, it could just be me though.

[@MZmowing]

Eastwood has a weld threw primer that works great

[@austinniemela]

I’ll have to try that! Thanks!

[@sierraclassic720]

Extra steel in the front frame is probably over kill, since the V8 engine is lighter than the stock F engine, The rear section of the frame is a different matter, great job

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! Overkill is my middle name lol

[@CTMadModz]

Austin, thank you for not powder coating anything on this build 🤣🤘😎

[@jurijsbolakins8928]

Super 👍👍👍👍👍

[@larrybrownlee9255]

Looking good! Did you put any weep hole in the cross member to let condensation out? Also you would be able to inner coat them through the hole.

[@MrBeerfix]

Austin Niemela , can you give us a deep dive into how you get the image of the cardboard template uploaded, overlayed and scaled into Fusion360? Using a Crossfire Pro, and fusion360 here, and struggling with that.

[@tomshumpert]

Great vids! What plasma cuter are you using on you cnc table? Thanks

[@l8nightjay]

I agree steel it!

[@boyflexnv]

I hear steel it is great.

[@WilliamVerdoorn]

I’ve used that same Seymour primer a lot and I agree, it kinda sucks. Spraymax is better I think.

[@vonzipper24]

Wurth works well

[@JB-Mk1TDI]

steel-it for the win

[@acescape88]

11:05 , my ocd wants to slap the mosquito on your forehead soooo bad lol

[@xubious]

Do you have any cars for sale?

[@sas86toy]

What would you charge for a rear frame enforcement plates and both cross tubes

[@austinniemela]

Email me [e-mail]

[@gaboonviper85]

Steel-it hands down

[@senorspiegel]

Did you let the primer dry all the way? You went hog wild on that frame haha, looking good!

[@austinniemela]

Yes primer dried for a day!! Thanks! It should hold up now!!

[@DaDudeFromLA]

So you need an rn20 frame? Lol best frame was sold man!

[@Z-Bart]

Beefy!

[@williamlikos1996]

[@ColonCrusher]

Use steel it

[@RampJD75]

Lot welding

[@MassacrePoon]

Spray it on thinner

Do you want to try car wrap? We hope to cooperate with you!😊

[@davefury66]

[@adventureescape1929]

You're spraying the primer on too thick.

[@shelbydog1100]

I’m convinced all weld through primer is garbage

[@tradeMark182]
