Went to a local scrap yard, got a piece of stainless steel scrap- they cut it down and charged me like 30 cents a pound. Also bought a section of channel and cut it into 4 legs.. Cost about $35 bucks lol

Dang, this is one of the nicest build threads I've ever seen.
FWIW, you need a table of contents, I've been flipping through for half an hour and I still haven't gotten to the engine bay pics! (or gotten my jaw off the floor)
Very well done, amazing attention to detail
Thank you, my man. Much appreciated. I once had aspirations to do a TOC for the thread, but it's one of those things that just never happened.

Love it. I need to buy one of those torch holders.
Meh,....tables of Content are a pain in the ass. I got all that time in mine,..and it is soo incomplete I never have the time to maintain it.
I was going to pull the trigger on one of those, but then decided I wanted a table that could also hold both my welders and tanks. Working on putting something together right now.Not sure they make a 'Murca version

I stuffed a new post at the beginning of your thread in the case that you ever want to develop that. A full TOC is rarely necessary (threads can be searched) but highlight links might be good.
You da man! Highlights are a good idea. I can manage that.I stuffed a new post at the beginning of your thread in the case that you ever want to develop that. A full TOC is rarely necessary (threads can be searched) but highlight links might be good.

I have so much work to do on the car for Foxtoberfest, but all I want to do is play with this welder.

Thanks Dave. I've played with it a handful of times over the past week. Not as much as I would like though. The hardest part for me is building up the muscle memory in my left hand to feed the filler rod consistently.
I've watched a lot of videos online and as I weld more, I go back and watch them again, because I'm learning enough to have questions after things don't go the way I expected.
I'm also an expert on dipping tungsten in the puddle. I can cut and sharpen them like nobody's business!
I have on aluminum. The first time I did a vertical uphill, I think I got more filler in the tungsten than on the metal. Hah!
Wrapped up Foxtoberfest in North Carolina. Great show and awesome people. Won Best in Show too. The feedback on the car was awesome. We had a really good time, and I got to talk to a lot of great guy. Dare I say this show was more fun than Mustang Week?
