Not a whole lot of changes, mostly unnoticeable things. I changed out the tail light so I had to fill where the original one was and build the plate and light holder along with the bracket to hold it to the fender. Made a bracket for the front signals. Shorten the tail pipe and made a bracket to mou...

Before I would use a holesaw I would look into a hole cutter from Blair or a competitor. https://www.blairequipment.com/holcutters

Thanks, I do understand about galvanic reaction. I don't have a tig but I have tig welded some but very little. I don't have enough experience with one to be any good at it. I kept contaminating the tungsten.

Thanks for your reply. It is steel, it is a aftermarket tank for a mid 30s car made by Tanks Inc.

I have a new fuel tank for a car I'm working on and I want to add a drain. I have a steel bung and looking for opinions on whether I should braze it or silver solder.

Are there settings to go by or do you just plug the machine and cut?

Looking good

Nice, what does your insurance people have to say about a wood burner in the garage. The municipality I live in won't allow homemade wood burners in a garage and my insurance won't cover them either. Probably want to regulate that draft also.

Very nice,I like to make things that are already available. Some things I have to make though. I have thought about making a skull and cutting pieces out of car body parts that have the shape I need. Compound curves are hard to make without the right equipment. You did an amazing bit of work on your...

I do sell a few things but most people think there worth nothing and that's what they want to pay.

Very common I've found if you weld it like tracing the petals of a flower and not like a spiral it helps greatly I think by going around the ring and then capping the center it accidentally creates an air pocket that blows out like welding a sealed container Thanks, I never thought about that happe...

Another outside possibility is that the frame is sealed and you welded up the last possible vent hole. The accumulated gas/heat from welding has to go somewhere- blow out. This is not likely on a truck frame, but, in certain conditions, it is a real possibility. Just something to bear in mind while...

I was filling some holes in a truck frame build and after I was done welding one of the holes but still had the gun pointing at the weld the weld had a nipple grow on it. I chiseled it off and had a crater underneath of it. Using 75/25 gas ,frame was wire brushed to remove rust. Any Ideas?

Nice job, can you tell me what kind of welding positioner you have?

Thank you Richard

Fantastic job mate! Love it. Did i you cut down full screens to make these? Thank you Darrin, I made the frames from 1" square tube and bought a full size curtain and cut what I needed. To attach them to the frame I folded the edge over so it's two ply and used large head pop rivets. The curta...

I made some curtains for my workstation, 1" square tube and it is made to disassemble to move or haul around. The frame is 3 pieces and just clamp to the table. The frame is made so the bottom tubes sit flush with the table and the curtains can roll up so if I need to put something long on it a...
