    Using Flux Core for floorpans?

    .035 is what I would use. You can get the flux core smaller, but you are most likely going to have to order it from a welding supply store, and its not cheap. When I say stich welding, im refering to just pulsing the trigger on the gun. Just one little tack at a time. You will need to lay in...

    Using Flux Core for floorpans?

    Flux cored welding wire, and Welding electrodes use to different styles of flux. If you stitch weld your pans in using flux cored wired you dont need to stop and clean every time you pulse the trigger. The flux in the cored wire is just a small trace. If you are really laying down a bead on...

    Using Flux Core for floorpans?

    Flux cored wire will work fine. The flux core is actually better for the beginer welder anyways. With the flux core you just need to make sure the welding surface is pretty clean, a good once over with a wire cup on a grinder is a good way to do that. You will proably be stiching in the panels...

    Welder Question

    As every one has said. Get the welder with the most amps you can in your voltage range. I personally would never buy and portable style welder made for 220v. Its not worth it because its to much for most peoples general needs and not big enough for heavy fabrication. I have a Millermatic 251 for...

    What to do with rusty headers??

    wrap and tape will kill your headers in half the time. the tubes have no access to cool air beeing passed around them as a result the inside of the tubes get so hot that the gasses exiting the tubes start to take metal with them. So they eat themselfs up from the inside out. But hight temp paint...

    Rotisserie restoration frustration

    why not just contract the work out to a guy with a portable soda blasting set up or rent one. Since the car is on a rotesserie, a soda blasting unit could take it all down to bare metal in under a hour. Clean up is nice and easy to, just turn the hose loose on it and wash it, let it dry well...

    Dash Removal

    Proably not a bad idea to tie it all together with some supports anyway. Your already going to have the dash out of your way and have easy acces to weld in some support. Your dash does not way much of anything, once you get it out you will proably wonder if it was worth it to save that small...

    Odds are even once you mock up the fit and burn all your welds, the tubes will still be tweaked and have to be pressed straight. It is very hard to keep the axles tubes from warping.

    Completely Dumbfounded. Someone get me a DUNCE cap.

    I Would do a leak down test and see if you can find the location of the leak. Does the car overheat any other time or just when you are pushing it hard on the freeway ?? blowing out 2 quarts of oil at a time is a big leak and should not be hard to find. Is the smoke actually comming from inside...
