There is Greg! I'll remove it right away sir.:D

The fuel tank is all hand formed and gas welded. It's something I learned from a good friend Don Baumunk, owner of Fat Katz. Don is a master of sheet metal!

Thanks again Greg.

I took a class from Ron Covel --- he likes to weld aluminum with gas... which in this day and age of A/C TIG I was kinda shocked to learn.... but it's a fantastic skill!! He'll actually weld with a strip of the same sheet he's working with so there's no (or very little) discoloration.

are you using a gas lense to weld stainless, or backpurging, or maybe both? a friend of mine is telling me to use a gas lense, i was wondering what your setup is. thanks for the help. amazing work on this car and everything else you posted!

I do use a gas lense on all stainless welding. I backpurge all 18ga stainless header tubes. On butt welds using 16ga material I don't. If I use a formed collector I do backpurge because there is so much heat being generated in that one area. I also use 347 stainless filler on all my stainless and 309l on my mild steel headers. Thanks for the compliment. Oh, heat is the killer, so keep under control.

If I copy/paste the pic addresses it looks like they were deleted off photobucket, which is why they don't show up anymore.

Thanks Jody. I'll see if I can repost them. Thanks again.
