Burning eyes is high CO2, be very careful with that stuff.

When going from flux core to solid wire make you swap polarity on the welder. You should be fine with 75/25 mix for most welding.

Wow George I just saw this. You have been busy and it shows. Nice work.

I actually went with this machine on the recommendation of another fabricator and I knew that I was taking a chance. Honestly it is amazing and you can't beat the price. I have been welding with it for 6 months now. Comparable machines are 2-3 times as much. For what I have done with it so...

Looking great Louis. Those welds look super strong. Don't sweat the stainless, I think it's easier to weld than mild, because there is less impurities in the metal.

Looks like you passed to me. :cheers:

He didn't specify. He just told me that they are great for cleaning guns.

Yep. The guy that sold us ours said that you could even clean electronics in it as long is it was deionized water.

Ours has a heater that is set to 130 degrees. It runs at 40K hz.

Just soft tap water.

Nice score. Here is the one we have at work. I think that I'm the only one who uses it. A couple of weeks ago I had an entire rear end housing in there for about 6 hours.

Nobody? I think that I will go ahead and get one. My small Lincoln 135 may be for sale soon.

Price seems right although it doesn't come with the tig stinger or foot pedal. The cool thing about is that it's 3 in 1 tig, mig and stick. The duty cycle is not great at 180 amps, but I prefer to not overheat metal anyway. The reviews look good...

Nice Joe. I bet you can't wait to get your junk in there. LOL. Seriously you are a man that has his priorities in order. :thumbup:

I ran out of room in my garage at home so I have to rent a shop 40'x40' a couple of blocks away.

Here is my homemade valve spring compressor. Cut up rocker shaft and stamped rocker, a piece of rod stock and small scrap of tubing. Works great.

I have both 110-220 on argon mix and I use my little Lincoln SP-135T for 99% of stuff, even .134" wall DOM. I usually try to preheat the thicker stuff a little before. The only time I use the 220 is on anything 1/4" an up and usually use flux core outside.

It will be a big improvement over the factory piece. Just send me a pm if you want one. BTW I used to live in Kingwood Texas, just north of Houston. I am missing the weather right now. It was 1 degree this morning.

Wow thanks.

Thanks for the link Louis. Looks like a good plan. I like the way that it folds up.

You can drill out the spot welds and replace the factory piece or you can just simply weld it in behind the factory piece. There is plenty of room.

Thanks for the advice. I do have many more radiator supports. I plan on building them as long as people buy them.

I want to build one and need some ideas. My 360 is done and I haven't even started on paint and body yet. It would be nice the hear the thing come to life for some motivation. Let's see pics of what you did for ignition, fuel setup and gauges.

Sure have Cliff. She purrs like a kitten. No complaints so far and gives me plenty of air my tubing bender and air tools. I can't wait to do a paint job with it.

Yep Iron cylinders. After I bought it I looked at the reviews. Good and bad, I guess it is hard on head gaskets with constant use, but I don't use a compressor very much, so hopefully I will be alright.

I love my wife. She let me buy this today, only because my other compressor is dying. It's 60 gallons and plenty of flow to power my tubing bender. The previous owner used it one time and decided that he didn't need it. Like new and comes with a Snap on filter/dryer. All for $325.

Cool. You could move my tubing bender thread there if you want. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=162876

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Scott I plan on making the lower radiator support for 67-76 a bodies. I have Jmacs-mopars Dart Sport over here to use as a pattern. He is getting the first one.

With the ram it only took me about $250 to build, not including any dies. It helps having access to a machine shop at work. I machined all of the brass bushings myself and reused some scrap Thompson shaft that I had stashed.

I'm still waiting for my dies to get here. Dang UPS. I am going down to pick up my DOM tubing today and get this thing going. What do you think? Painted it in Bright Blue Metallic that was left over from my truck.
