Infamous mazda the $200 mazda build

[Infamousmazda]

Also got the bed floor cut out, and bought some 1" square tubing to build a raised floor with tubs and a door in the middle.

On a side note , building a low rider wagon to pull my one year old around in at the next truck show(Turkey Drag). Just mock up..... (I know not a ranger or b series mazda.........)

Nice write up, more pics of that finished C notch please. Loving the wagon too, nice work.

 

[Infamousmazda]

Just an updated picture on the wagon. Got the frame done. Need to weld a couple more caps on and finish painting. Then redo wagon floor.

 

[Infamousmazda]

I will try to post some updated pics of the Mazda soon. December is a busy month so will get some when time allows.

 

[Infamousmazda]

Four days to finish this wagon before the show. Used the plasma cutter and cut the bottom out. Floor was rusted through in spots. Had an old floor pan for a vehicle I sold so I cut a piece out of it and welded it in the wagon.

Last picture of the wagon, a finished product. And we are out at turkey drag with it now

Well it's back to working on the mazda. Was gonna do some welding on the bed, but I ran out of argon. And I cant get it filled on the weekend so I thought I will do some interior work. Pulled the headliner out. It is pretty trashed. The front corner was so far gone I had to cut a piece of cardboard to make up for it.

Turned out pretty nice.

You're using argon for steel? Isn't it for aluminum?

 

[Infamousmazda]

Yes always an argon/ co2 mix for mig welding steel. Now tig welding, especially aluminum or stainless something like that would be pure argon.

 

[Infamousmazda]

Welding some diamonds on the notches for extra support

I have the bed bolted back on the truck. Currently framing the new bed floor. Have the air tank just sitting in there, not sure exactly where I want to mount it.

 

[Infamousmazda]

Going to hinge the floor where it raises up.

 

[Infamousmazda]

Well I have the frame of the bed floor finished for the most part. Still need to build hinges and a latch and shorten the neck on the fuel cell. But I think it turned out pretty good. Also I will need to make some wheel tubs for it.
