Yet, Another Welding Rig

[zaina]

I started with the '77 GMC wrecker. I cut the sides off the wrecker body and added a deck and tail pan to them. Here is where I'm at along with the inspiration

Got the boxes and the Hoosier pole built.

 Build a couple more of those welding rigs and a couple of sidebooms and you have a pipeline diorama !

Decided to pull this one back out. Got the Lincoln short hood almost done as well as built a Tidweld style cord reel.

Was just thinking about building a welding rig. Very impressive work, sir!

I was able to get my hands on some 3D files for welding machines and I was never really happy with the box set up so this one came back out for some changes.

That is going to be a nice rig. Googling score on those 3D files!

[Rusty92]

Those welders look pretty good! The whole rig looks great. I was building one as well, kind of stalled out. You were the original inspiration for this build!

That last shot is a good one!  The pieces look like they belong together!

Very nice. Some of my favorite things are trucks that have to actually work for a living.

Hi Andy, gorgeous work on your pickup and these welding machines look really great. Would you mind sharing the source of the 3D files?

It's for sure I follow your build. Thanks and take care, Juergen

Thanks. Here is the link to the file creator. He has some other great welding related stuff as well. https://cults3d.com/en/users/modellbau1zu24/creations
