Default New TIG welder = New chassis!!!

I bought a new TIG welder and just had to try it out! Decided to build a new chassis for my Wraith...
Before -
starting the cage...Starting to look like a rig!!!
and a rough mock up with clamps...

Still have a ways to go, need to figure electronics and battery location. Then it will be on to custom aluminum panels, steel skid, and interior pieces. Chassis is made of 1/4'' aluminum rod, fully TIG welded.

Nice chassis. It looks like you've welded before. How are you liking the new welder?

The welder is awesome!!! I learned to TIG while in school 13 years ago, and had not touched a TIG since graduating. I have been welding with MIG, and stick for a while so the basics were still there, but this machine is so easy to use, and very forgiving, it makes me look like I've had it for years.

I just started my own fabrication business this last year, and it has grown quite well!

work shop is finally coming together, now its time to build some cool stuff!
8'' grinder, 8'' drill press w/ milling deck, Hypertherm 30 plasma cutter, Hobart 210 MIG, Miller Diversion 180 TIG, 24'' sheet metal brake, 6' bench vise, 1.5'' radius 5/8'' capacity bender, + more = a lot of projects to come!

Always looking for projects!
