The fact that Showcars is ILLEGALLY advertising Baddog parts as their own tells me to stay away.
-
yes, Ive got a dozen or so left. Check the vendors forum for ordering info. Thanks

Sorry , no before pics , but you all know what dirty stock L28et looks like.
-
nevermind that nonsense...get back to work!!!

Thats a decent machine and if you can get it for a good price, I'd jump on it.The limited amperage adjustment is a minor drawback for the hobbyist welder. It really depends on what kind of money he's asking.

My weight did not include the cross member, steering rack and mine came on a plastic pallet. Those items prolly can account for 50 lbs +-.

I sprung for the real deal because I was tired of the cheapo's failing.

I'm American and I dont hate everybody ( cept for haters ) and my shop rate is $ 80.00 / hr.

The weight I gave on an SR was from the shipping company.That included everything less fluids.

I dont know what the RB25 weighs but an SR20det with tranny is right around 475 lbs.

I gotta second the Karim recomendation. I got a very clean SR20det from him.

I second Warrens method. Jig the manifold up into the desired orientation to the drill/saw and clamp it down tight to the press's bed and an uneven/nonflat surface wont matter.Go slow at first to establish a good straight hole

I'm thankful for the programable ECU, ball bearing turbos and race gas.

thanks guys, time to checkout the local line-x companys

Anyone have first hand experience with this spray on bed liner? Ive got a new truck and I'm considering getting it done. Ive always used the rubber mat and its done what I need it to but I'd like to hear what you guys think.

the proper name is rotary bender or a variation of it.

I think " ENOUGH " will always be more than you have.

Isnt that tone knob supposed to go to 11 ?

Oh... to be 40 again. Happy Birthday mang

I ended up building a gantry to position the motor better and it was well worth the effort.It allowed rotation and elevation changes to get it just right. I only picked the motor from 2 spots towards the front and made the other adjustments from the tail end of the tranny.The SR tranny is considerably bigger than the stock box and I had to remove alot of the tunnel's top. It feels good to make progress.
Here it is in its final resting place...yipee

I just picked up a Millermatic 140 and would recomend it to anyone. I had a Hobart that was never really good. It welded, but never very well. As was said, get the best machine you can afford right up front and take the class to learnhow best to use it.

Sorry man...my brain is a sieve, perforated from years of weld fumes, minor concussions and way too many tequila shots. I'm on it...

This is my sons band. They opened for Gwar last year at a horror convention in Worcester Mass. Hes the horn blower

It looks strong side to side but I would add some gussets front to back.Also, did you use screws or nails?
Question about Cleaning the inside of Mild Steel piping
in Fabrication / Welding

Acetone works great for cleaning metal but it will strip any oil from the surfaces it contacts. If your concerned about rust, a lightly oiled rag pushed thru the tube will remove any unwanted debris and leave an oil film that will retard rust. If rust is a huge concern, use the acetone to clean and tape up the tube ends/openings and pour some paint into the tube and swish it around.
