yeah it has been two years since my trucks had a wax... hmm

I seriously thought that car needed more paint love than that, it appears the hood was spray painted on the cheap but he ordered a new hood for it too.

so far he told me he has ordered

new hood, 4 reverse facing louvers in the center with vents on the outside above fender area
body kit (not sure which, will see it in a few weeks)
spoiler
fenders with vent
tires and wheels ** already on
new flowmaster exhaust ** already on, didnt want the cops chasing him over the original exhaust that was under it when I bought it. it was loud, like 2 mile radius loud

trying to talk his wife into a twin turbo kit. if he does this, I told him he owes me a ride in that car.

 

wow thats cool, I dont remember filling that out. lol

 

Like it says for jbrew: Supercab 5.4 liter XLT White
For Klitch it says: Supercab Lariet Red

 

No Argon, that might make it to easy. I'll take an old Lincoln any day.

 

Or I just suck at it lol. I only get a good 2 minutes of duty cycle out of it, then I have to let it recoup for 7 or 8. That's fine by my me for what I need, but the quality of duty cycle can blow with crap equipment. The grounding clamp that came with was one you would find on a cheap set of jumper cables lol. Wire feed and a V-groove drive roller doesn't feed all that great, -it hangs. The wire has snapped once or twice as well, reason there's suppose to be a knurled driver for wire.

Also needed to stiffen up the drive roller and bearing assemblies with a couple support straps lol.

She's a fine machine now boy

 

Don't that just **** you off. The old one I have will do the same thing. But the mistake I always made was turning it off untill the circiut reset. I was talking to a welder telling him about it, and he told me when the circuit cut out, to leave the switch on and it would reset allot quicker.

 

Yea, I thought adding another fan would help, I think it does, but it's hardly noticable. If I wasn't so cheap, I would purchase a better Mig and paint this one pink and give it to my brothers little girl.

 

Just put an ice pack on it

 

But seriously, everytime I get a good hot bead rolling. the damn thing kicks out. Another thing that helps is to not run it on an extention cord, even if it is a large guage one

 

Talk to me, tell me about this.
I'm pretty good at laying a bead. But I'm not a welder. So I don't know much about the different applications, and types of metal. But how do you do this?

 

example from work:

we have a 110 buzz box, a tig lead (clamp stick to tig lead), grab gas bottle of choice and hook it up to the purge line for tig.

ours has a selector for "tig" and "stick" but tig does not seem to work for ours anymore so we leave it on stick and do welds out in the plant.

as soon as the tungsten touches, your in business, just remember to get the gas going before that

 

Here's some little 90 amp trials lol -

 

The problem i've found with my flux core wire welder, is inside corners. The flux in the wire creats a shield,(form what I've read about it) much like the argon in tig and other welders. I do pretty good with it, but when I get to a corner of something where I can't get the tip down over it good, the weld starts breaking up.

Jbrew, How much of that did you do before the circuit protector kicked out?:o

 

Never kicked the breaker, I stopped for awhile between welds, changed settings and other things. The second from right where I had it cranked up, I stopped, -you can tell where lol. Yea, the sheet metal screws came out of one side of the welder and it started vibrating like crazy

 

That is probably about the distance mine could go continuously before it would trip. It's about 10 years old and cost maybe $300 new, I don't remember exactly how much. But I have put allot of stuff together with it over the years.
