Awesome. I have to look for the new races on youtube.

Your safest bet.....is to use either acetone, or isopropanol alcohol. It's not worth taking any chances, brake cleaner is for brakes, not weld prep.

I'd say you're doing it right. Aside from being able to reach, and weld prep ALL surfaces being welded. If possible, wire brush as much as you can, blow as much debris out that you can reach with compressed air. Maybe fabricate an "extension hose" attachment to your air gun to reach into tight...

Our shop is just starting a braze operation for Roll Royce. A lot of inconel 718.

Surely, if you just bought this mystery "welding machine" new, it would have come with a sheet with various different settings for different thicknesses and alloys. Or, if bought 2nd hand, you can find that material online. Plus.....why wouldn't you watch YouTube?? Seeing someone weld is 1000x...

I want the '71 Brazilian grille for my '69 Dart.

That's it!!! Valiant Pacer? Did that guy ever switch to a V8?

I'm the a-hole?? Hahaha! I just think it was a better method than MiG welding sheet metal. Unlike aviation welding, the school was mostly geared in structural welding with a short stint mig welding. In this hobby I see myself using tig for rollcages or aluminum (intake manifolds or cylinder...

For tungsten on AC welding, I prefer 1/8" dia. zirconiated tunsten, color code is brown. It has one of the highest melting points of all, allowing you to keep a small ball on the end of your electrode, and enhancing arc stability and control. I don't ball my tungsten, I leave a small .030" -...

You're in Mexico.......what'd you expect?

"2. Stick welding automotive sheet metal: what current would you run? How much space between each weld run? How long to let an area of sheet metal cool off before another run? What stick for tack welds, what stick for the welds? (Automotive sheet metal) Stick is for building tractor parts...."...

Well. To be honest, asking that many simple questions was a dick move. You showed that you are either an old fart that doesn't know how to use the internet, or you were just being a dick.

Being a veteran welder, doesn't mean I'm retired and have the time to teach a welding class on FABO. With that many simple questions, I'd advise you to at least do some research on your own to answer most if your ?'s. Google, Youtube. Then, come back to me with any specific questions you have...

No problem! Again, I'm not sure exactly what it is that you're welding, so my advice is being restrained. But TIG is my specialty, and it is by far, the cleanest strongest way to weld aluminum.

#1, practice. If you are able to have any scrap metal left over during your project, play around with welding scrap B4 you hose up your work. I would need to know what you're welding tho. Example, you do not want to weld a custom aluminium gas tank with a spoolgun, or with the wrong weld filler...

What exactly are you welding?

Must be sweet to romp your a body around La Paz. I'm in Az and we stay in a friend's condo down in Puerto Penasco every summer.....I've been thinking about taking my dart down there for a while now.

20yr veretan aerospace welder here.....just looking to help anyone out with any DIY welding questions.... MIG, TIG?

"When you ask for help from an adult, and get halfass effort which is worse than no help because it needs redone." Happens all the f'kin time in the aerospace manufacturing industry!! I literally spend over 50% of my day re-working parts that lazy-*** millenials have welded on. Of course rework...

Those are sweet man! I've always been fascinated by the differences in the a-bodies down under, and in Brazil. There's a blue a-body that competes in the Touring Car Masters series.....I'd love to get my hands on the suspension components they run on those cars. Would really improve the handling...

1st off, great job Ddaddy! I started my journey for all of the same reasons. The main contributor to my fatness was the beer, pizza, and mexican food.....did I mention beer? Lol. I chose to go the ketogenic route for my weight loss adventure. I started this whole new way of eating on 6/27/16...

Mine's been called "The Dartmobile" since high school by all of my friends. That's all it's ever known.

Hello??? Why is everyone using this forum to whine about crap that no one cares about?? This place should receive threads that encompass NOTHING other than **** about A-Bodies. Hello!!! Stop wasting member's time!!!!

This **** guy is a douche nozzle. Search Capstone Microturbine and you'll find better technology.
