here is some of the tin work that Rod AKA "The Tin Man" done on the car.

.040 AL...

140a and 90* http://www.ckworldwide.com/micro_torch.htm

damn....70amp for gas cooled...looks like im upping to a dynasty sooner than I thought.

my man....im gonna check with my dealer monday....since your up....how many different types of finger tip controls can you find? :goggles:

Regretfully you "need" water cooling for the tubing you're doing. =(
What amperage are you using on that cage?

Here's a couple: http://www.arc-zone.com/index.php?ma...x&cPath=13_674

I'm liking that rotary belt unit with the velcro so you can change the switch position on the torch as needed and the north-south finger movement vs. east-west of the typical dial. :thumbsup:

USA Weld offers that rotary for my HTP 221 Invertig......very tempted. As you know there's times when a foot control is basically useless and I'd have a backup should the foot control fail.

The list of things that I need are growing...new torch, diopter lens, tugsten shapener, Dynasty, band saw, gravity boots etc I've been hanging upside down for a few of the jobs.


come to think about it next time im gonna drag the teeter hang up to the shop to help me get to those hard to reach spots...


for the finger control I have the machine set to 180 and that gives me 1/4 turn from off to deal with when im welding. So its about 125-130

In the past I try to do a majority of my welding with the finger control. Its something I recommend when someone is first starting out. Start and perfect the finger controls. Like driving...start with a stick shift. everything else is gravy

Underdash is finally done, dash is in, fire system done, steering column mounts finished and seats are going in.

Since we had to make even more room for the rear wheels and tires we pushed the lower quarter out about 2 inches. To make it look right we also had to extend the rockers. This will add to the cars aero moving the air around the tire. In theory.



Here are a few pictures from when I was setting up the rear quarter and rocker extension.

More on the rocker extension.

Here is a great shot of the side with the fender and quarter mocked in. Very subtle stretch. Makes the 335's look like 295's.

LOOKN GOOD VINN :bigun2:

Nice work Vince, didn't know you possessed all that metal fab talent. :thumbsup:
