What was that Brew, about $60. worth of parts to make that $50. purchase worth $90.???





Just havin a little fun with ya. I welded stainless exhaust pipe all the time with a regular Mig and regular steel wire and it welded like a dream. Imagine it is because it's not very high grade stainless.

 

Did you do that with flux core, or a gas shield? Just curious. I have an older lincoln (i think) flux core. I didn't know it would do stainless. and never tried it. The one I have has a tweeko wire feed and tip, and the accsesories for gas shield, but I've never tried it. I've only used it on thin metals like exhaust tubing.
I have an old Cracker box my dad gave me for some old fashion stick welding.

 

Hey position your cursor on top of your vehicle ident. Shows your true colors, -just noticed that ~

 

Only probe I thought was ever worth a flip was the '89 gt turbo.

 

whare?

you could make that old stick welder perform as a tig if you had the desire to, the flux core welder will do stainless, its not very good at doing the heavier gauge metal though. I actually like my cheapy welder, it does the welds under 3/8's very well.

check out your welding supply store, (oxarc around here) they'll have a 2lbs spool of 309 stainless you could use or even perhaps 316 and be able to weld mild to stainless.

409 stainless is typical exhaust grade, it is bottom of the barrel lol.
so for $90 he got something twice as good as he woulda normally gotten

I didnt like the body style
I do like the late 90's to early 2000's merc cougar, nice smooth lines on that car, and the 2.5 in it seems to outpower the 93-97 probes significantly. hmm *scratch chin*

 

klitch as least you have an H pipe

 

Yea but his H stands for - Holes in the pipes.

 

shh shhh dont tell the patented speed secret!

 

Isn't there holes in all exhaust pipes.

 

Yes, but the top secret power getters are in the middle

 

Good ridden, right?!

I'm in the process of making my Dodge Cummins sellable by putting a new tranny in it with a 2 year warranty...

That alone on the 'bay will get some hot buyers...

 

lol the buyer came back by, he waxed the poor car and it looks so much better, he also purchased a body kit and is gonna show that off to me too.

 

Wow!

I'm waiting for someone to buy that truck from me and put a unistack on it... and remove the silencer ring...

 

Tell him he can have the truck too.

 

Top right corner where your info displays, just hoover over "vehicle" and your color will jump out at yuh.
