you gonna pressure test this?

when you gonna get that new axle in?

[sahara0207]

when i find the front one... apparently they are not that common. i see them for sale in la all the time or in sf so soon i might just have to bribe a friend with a pick up and drive 4 hours for one.

that a new welder in the background?

[sahara0207]

oh and im welding it all real tight then grindin smooth then re welding any pits if their are any and repeating should be a good seal... but im still ganna red kote it, which seals up to 1/16" holes which should not even be their but it will be peace of mind. im coating it twice.

its priced like a 78 but its a later model... the drivers side tube is too short and the other is a dodge which means passanger drop

How do the welds turn out with pure CO2 sheilding gas?

[sahara0207]

well i have welded on both and i will say the mis does look better... and is easier... but i would like to master co2 becuase it does after all get better penatration. you can tell its a deeper burn.

[sahara0207]

im no expert... its just what my observations are...

there is absolutly no reason to run straight co2, unless you like shitty looking welds. go back to the mig mix.

settle down cowboy... you got a degree in chemistry?

[sahara0207]

i know the baffles look a lil sloppy. truth is their not. they fit like a glove with the corners snipped. but i wanted the edges to only touch in a coupls spots for spot welds so i ground them down quite a bit. the kote will fill some in and make all my gas flow holes a bit tinier. rest i wanted for a lil flow.

number 2 will be recessed so the pick up hits just right. plus then the cover i make can rest on the top flush and not hit the lines
