I think I see a spec of dust in that one weld there..... :D




Love the tank strap! The tank is pretty cool too....

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.

Reposting Pics.....

It's builds like these that raise the bar.

Did I mention I want to see more builds from you guys

Thanks.

I'm wondering what happened to the rest of my pics?!:confused59:

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.
