dud e that tube work is great it's way to heavy for just a chassis, when that thing falls and rolls you better get out of the way Last edited by toy4crawlin; 07-20-2009 at 09:51 AM. |

Did you just tack those joints together with silver solder or is that a weld? |

really? My dad just bought a cheap 110 flux cored mig welder but I don't feel like trying to screw with it. Do you get alot of spatter? it dosn't look like it on ur frame.

I have the same welder Lincoln pro mig 110, ebay $350. I use 24g with argon c02 mix, it took a while to get the right settings to get a nice bead but it's great now Last edited by toy4crawlin; 07-21-2009 at 01:17 PM. |

I did everything myself. the front turning operation was done on a manual bridgeport lathe. the second back operation was done on a haas cnc mill which I hand wrote the program for, as well as the second operation on the back. I did all of this at the NTMA trainig center im attending here in so cal. In 2 weeks I will be a certified machinist |
