More crap:
Fuel pump cage to protect the pump because the tank sump and truck are so low. Still wanted it to breathe though.
Niice! Show more engine bay and turbo pics... I love this shit. I wish I knew how to weld and do metal work. I just sent my car in for custom headers and exhaust after swapping in a fresh 363.
Krems...if you're new to this and thats the workmanship you're putting out, you don't really need any tips...you just need arc time.
On small diameter, light wall pipe like that, with a gappy fit I would tack the flange so the gap is even all the way around. With stainless I'd tack every inch to keep the flange from distorting. I'd run 1 pass to fill the gap then 2 stringer passes for the cap instead of a weaved cap. When weaving a fillet weld I try to not have a weave more than 6 times the diameter of my filler rod.
Heat control is a very personal thing. I weld very hot. Probably 10% more amps than pretty much anyone else I know. Stainless is a whole different story though. You really have to have your eyes in 4 different places at once. You have to watch the leading edge of the puddle to be sure you're getting proper penetration. You have to keep a eye on the puddle for size. You have to watch the deposited metal for signs that you are letting you material get too hot. You have to watch the puddle to be sure you're not getting the molten metal too hot.
Your deposited weld metal will look like it has semi melted sugar on it if its getting too hot. Your puddle will become unstable and your arc will start to wander if it's too hot.
But like I said...you have more than the basics down pat from what I see. I know 25 year welders who can't TIG like that.
Nice cutting board. You picked a great species.
I dunno about sharing with you faggots, but here's a TV stand I built in my garage last fall.
Pre-stain
Post-stain
And a Sketchup render
Couldn't find anything local that fit the dimensions I needed so... I just made one. It turned out OK for a first woodworking project. I didn't use enough clamps when I glued the top so it's a tiny bit warped.
Next is a desk.
I can't take credit for all of the good welds some were my friend that taught me how to TIG. I need to finish the wastegate dump and downpipe...I'm going to run them both through the pass fender, with a 4" cutout to 3" out back in case it needs to be quiet
Here's the Z too...it's a 77. I had an aluminum 5.3/t56 to go in it, but I sold them to do an RB26. Then, I changed my mind again and decided to go with a 6.2 out of a denali/escalade (basically an LS3 for half the price) and TR6060. I was about to pull the trigger on everything that Techno Toy Tuning makes, and some Watanabe wheels, but decided to get some land instead. It'll happen eventually. Let's see that 260!

Looks good! I do warn one of the downfalls of sketchup is those legs look great but the actual product with those legs I bet wont look near as good or be a great stable option....
I like that a lot. Nice job.
