That intake makes me drool every time I see it.

[turbostang]

You guys really piss me off..

I looked at that intake, started looking up Youtube videos for Automated TIG machines and came across some TIG welder reviews. Now, I'm thinking about selling MY TIG welder and getting a new one! Grrrrr..

I imagine miller is the entity behind marcella intakes.

I started building a turbo mounting bracket last night. I was just about to hit it with the mig to tack it when I realized that im going to need the turbo flange to be welded to the merge first... Turbo Dave is supposed to have some vband assemblies for me today so I can start working on the hot side stuff.

Heres the bracket I started working on. I had to cut out the middle bar in the turbo flange too.

How much? The work you do is pretty too. That machine has to be a decent enough one for me.

IDK Robert, If you're around - you're welcome to come check it out.

What part of town are you in? Still West FW?

These are from my welding class tonight. Its not much but I'm happy welding anything other than butts, T's, and laps. I dont know how long before they rust through.


Heres some new TIG machines they bought, apparently they now have cup holders on top. The machines we use are syncrowaves. I dont know how the new Lincolns will compare.




Some stainless I tried to weld. We're not supposed to do TIG / Stainless till next semester but they've been letting us do anything we want since our course objectives were complete over a month ago.

I don't know if I missed it, but where are you taking the classes? I'm interested in learning how to TIG.

I was at eastfield but im starting at mountainview jan 18th. Its supposed to be a better program than eastfields.

[projectPONY]

wow, I went through the MIG welding program at eastfield about 12 years ago and they weren't even thinking about doing TIG. might have to go back. who's running the program now? Carlos Ojeda still running the Collision/Refinishing side?

I didnt mess with the auto body people.

There are two guys Jeff Mitchell and Phil Sudderman working the welding programs.

they do stick, tig, mig and oxy fuel. Heres the link to the AAS plan: https://www1.dcccd.edu/cat1011/progr...=weld_tech_aas

You can also just do it by certificate for a specific area. All of the actual welding classes can be done at eastfield but some things like the metallurgy and blue printing class have to be done at MTV.

[projectPONY]

ok thanks.

I dont understand how things like this happen:

Is he cleaning them up after he welds them? How does he get the frosty looking area around the weld so small. What kind of drugs does he take to make him sedate enough to sit there and dip each one of those things out so cleanly? How does he start, stop, reposition? How is he getting inbetween the runners without making it look like a stop?

I have been told that alot of this high end stuff is welded with helium. It burns alot hotter and cleaner. I have never tried it, but have been wanting too.

[Doug Hatton]

Just don't talk while welding... LOL!

the guy that made that is on yellowbullet. Theres a thread there where they were talking about their welder settings and the helium mixes they use
