Crappy fab work

**Blownyota** · 05-26-2006, 07:59 PM

We have all seen some really terrible/scary fab work over the years. *Maybe you guys can post up the worst of what you have collected over the years...for people to learn from of course. *Plus I think some of the shit I've seen is just pure comedy.

Post it up!

I didn't think to take a pic until we were driving away, but their is a red a-arm Ranger XLT for sale on PCH in HB. Thought I'd check it out cuz Jason is looking for a truck and it looked to have a pretty decent LT kit. Whoever built it hacked off the coil buckets, but didn't plate it back in. The only thing that appeared to be holding the front end of the truck in was the arms and the peice of sheetmetal on the other side of the frame. It looks nice from afar, so I know one of tyou guys willl stop and look at it, take some pics when you do.

yeah i saw that truck yesterday...looked wide as hell. my girlfriend was like "what the hell are you staring at?", since i looked at it as we drove by.

like you said, looks decent from afar.

**Nasty_Nate13** · 05-28-2006, 02:34 PM

figured i'de ad to the bad fab work... i'm slowly replacing the bad work that was done to my truck before i bought it. Didn't know that much about dirt trucks when i bought my truck. All i saw was coilovers and impulce bought it. In the past 10 months i've learned a shit load about how thing should look/work.

old shok hoops/engine cross over

the new work...

**flomaster** · 05-28-2006, 09:17 PM

nate the "OLD" work doesn't look bad at all. only thing I see is that the engine "crossover" peice isn't removable as far as I can tell. but thats not "shady" or bad fab "work"

But it does fit in the realm of "theirs more to fabbing than cutting, bending, and welding". Guess it depends on who did the work, if it was the owner- Good Job, If someone charged for it- Have fun building TTs and 7s's with Rikki in Vegas

**JonMc** · 05-29-2006, 02:00 PM

Thats a jig... and that isnt mild steel.

Looks like a crappy shot at copying Newlines work.
