Damn! Wish I had those skills. Are those tig welded? |
Thanks ! Yes they are tig welds. I use .023 thick rod and I turn the amps down real low, About one amp per thousand's of a inch of material I'm welding. So if I am welding .037 thou material , I run about 35-40 amps on machine. _________________ Shipping is NOT included in any of my products or parts.

Most people would slap filler over the metal work and nobody would know the difference.
Good metal fabricators aren't too hard to find, they just want $$$$$$$$$ for the work.
You make it look so easy. And I know it takes time and patience to do it right. |

I did have a black early ghia, About 20 years ago. The plate said RUF HUH. If you look in the ghia thread on here, I have posted pictures of ghia stuff I have worked on.
