What's with it on turbo setups. Just exit the exhaust wherever? Bull ****. Lazy engineering. And illegal in most states. Needs to exit behind the rear axle....
It is a dedicated drag race car and nowhere close to street legal. It is very fast like north of 150 mph fast in 1/4. He owns the track where we race and the dyno. If you look at his design closely it is exquisite. That is about the 4th iteration.
Agree on this one. But I have seen the same on others. I was just using this to show a point. All those cars are just incredible.....i am always amazed on build quality. I'll never achieve any thing close to that kind of quality.....
Except for the damage, injury and loss of life, that is a powerfully beautiful thing.
You did all the work. I just pointed you in the right direction. They just need a little sanding/ clean up.
Be patient, everyday is a new day, literally. You walk in the room never knowing what to expect. Roll with it as best you can. We are starting down that path now with my Father and he is at the stage that he remembers going thru it with his Father and the whole thing is just terrible. It is a primary factor in my retiring early and moving close to him. The wheel of life is a biotch.
You made him use flux core? Arghh! Hah!
I think plug welds worked the best for me with sheet metal. Played around a bit with the settings, but I still tend to be too hot and blow through or move too fast. Much more practice needed!
100 amp machine and .025 wire wasn't going to cut it.
Practice, practice scrap metal is cheap.
I was kidding. I sold a lot of Flux core welders. Got most of them back traded in fora larger wire feed. I sold a bunch of 130 amp 115 volt. Carried one on the truck for quite a while along with wire and consumables.One step up from using a coat hanger.
Considering his first try at welding he did good.
