Cheap enough more than half way there now :)

even if you modify it for your needs or wants in most cases, half the work is already done. haven't priced metal in a long time but I would say there is more than $200 in metal there, let alone time. good deal

looks like a dang good start for the money.

the front floor section is 10ga diamond plate the rear section is 3/16 the tail board is 3/8 plate and the sides are 10 ga main frame is 3'' channel and i'm guessing the boxes are 10 ga. too and i think youer right the metal alone would cost more than 200 and the boxes are alreayd there i shallow and 1 deep on each side so the boxes alone are worth that i talked to a buddy and he paid 100 and change to have his lids made and broke so it's worth it by the time i'm done without labor i might have 5-600 in it

Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-09-2009 01:29
yes and it was 500 i talked him down to 200 he needed some money and is not a welder

And when all the welding and grinding is finished are you gonna blast and paint?  What color? Looks like this will keep you occupied and out of trouble. I don't know..does trouble cost more than keeping occupied?

I think he has a gallon of lime green latex for it. LOL

Just bustin your chops Rafter. :-)

Seriously though, if you consider powder coating it, touch base with me. Maybe I can work something out. It will fit in our bay's. And I am sure we have colors you will like way better than "grandma's lime green".

And are you remembering a spot on your deck for that huge keg you call a coffee cup? LOL
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-10-2009 21:27
if i have to i'll cut and weld a pieces of 1/2 with a gusset just for that with a gasket from a b o p for a holder lol
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-10-2009 21:26
i have thought about podwer coat but wow the cost you forget i'm laid off again and dont have the kind of jack it would take to do that much less the money for fuel to go to dallas unless it were free lol just kidding maybe i can find some lime green on special and then put some flourescent pink barb wire stripes on it with some purple stars across the back i'm sure cactus would run me off location
Parent - - By up-ten (***) Date 04-10-2009 22:43
that would be a "nice touch".  How about some dwarf ponies pulling a lincoln?
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-11-2009 02:42
might come to that if work dont pick up soon i'll sleeping in the tent next to the barn
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-10-2009 21:21
it averages out about the same but being occupied is more fun once i get all the bits and pieces gathered it'll be more fun and alot more noisy
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-10-2009 21:23
yes i'm gonna blast and paint it inside and out not sure what color prolly white with maybe black or metallic blue lids but as soon as it's done i'm putting it on the truck
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 04-12-2009 18:50
