Hey everyone,
I hope to start repairing my bulkhead in the next few days. My buddy is going to show me how to weld (new skill!!).
Questions:
1. Got the doorposts from our hosts (looks stout) yesterday. They almost look powder coated. Should I sandblast them before welding to get this coating off?
2. The plan is to keep the bulkhead on the frame as a jig, measure, cut and weld. Seem reasonable?
3. The new footwells will be here next week, is it ok to do the doorposts now and the footwells when they arrive? Or, is it better/easier to do it all at once?
4. Any advice?
Thanks!
Jason
