I'd worry about the heat ruining the seals in the cylinder.

Ok, I'm paranoid, but...

They've taken inventory, and if those were mine, I'd take some extra precautions to make sure they don't come back later and try to steal them.

gough1, I'm sorry for your loss. That's really sad.

I imagine how the weldor must feel. But at 165 mph, that is an amazing amount of force for any structure to handle, especially one designed with weight reduction as a concern. It would be hard to build something to handle those forces...

I know this is always the rule, but it's especially true for this job: Make sure your work clamp is really well attached, and as close as possible to the weld area. You don't want a bunch of mini-welds inside the engine/trans.

I have nothing against the guy, but his mug isn't going to make me buy a yellow welder any more than it's going to make me go to autozone.

I don't need a celebrity endorsement to help me make up my mind.

I bought the following all by myself:
180SD
MM210...

Are you wearing gloves?

Bob Sigmon is correct. Some people make the distinction so that when you're reading what they say, you know whether they're writing about a person or a machine. I figure as long as we understand each other, it's not a big deal.

When someone is talking to you, it's hard to know how they're...

Thanks for posting that, batwing.

What is the context of that, though? It says all welds should be TIG, which I thought they limited to chrome moly, not mild steel. Just curious.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but NHRA requires chassis (including cages) to be certified, but it doesn't require the welder to be certified.

Not sure there's a AWS welding certification for this kind of welding, anyway.

[INTP]

Be aware that this metal will not likely be ordinary mild steel.

We should write letters to their sponsors, vowing to not buy their products until these guys start using proper safety measures.

I found the AD helmet to be more of a benefit in some situations than others. In general, I found it more useful on MIG than TIG. By that, I mean that the starts on MIG would be better positioned without having to nod. With TIG, it was less of a deal because of the HF start, and being able to get the...

You'll probably find some wires in the attic of your 1960's house. They don't run them near the access openings, for obvious reasons, but they're probably there. If you want to put in a new circuit, that's the way it would go, depending on your attic of course. A 30A circuit could be run on 10GA wire...

I think shielding gas and flux have different purposes. Shielding gas displaces contaminants in the air, and flux (for brazing) helps move away contaminants on the surface and helps the brazing material flow along the base material.

Flux for FCAW is more like shielding gas, but I don't...
