Finished up my rockers a few weeks ago so I figure its time to share. The only thing I would do differently is to keep the rocker at a flatter angle. I placed mine at 4° while 1-2 would have been fine.
I took a similar approach as Eric with a few changes along the way.
Materials:
2x6 3/16
2x2 1/8
3" 1/8 stock
1 1/2" angle 3/16
1" angle 1/8
3" 3/16 stick for capping the ends of the rails
I welded everything up with 220 .030 flux core. It worked fine on the thin stuff just had to be very careful. This was my first welding project and I am very happy with it.
On to the pictures - old rails
Got the doors and fenders off
More to come....
