    Not mine - I got it off a welding message board I'm on. Just wanted to reinforce the fact that, if you have any doubts about your welding skills, you just MIGHT want to hire a professional, certified weldor !! :rolleyes:

  2. Your right the rear axle just decided to seperate from the link brakets welded to the housing!! If you cant weld but think you do ok. You should not do it! If this were to happen on the road the dammage would be horrible!
    Possibly killing you or worse some one that just happend to be there.
     
  3. The best part is right after the video ran out, my pal Randy (pro fabricator) jumped the fence and handed the guy his business card.

    It has been posted here before, happend a while back at our strip in Sturgis South Dakota, typical Wyoming car........more money than skill.

    looks fake really, but I guess it could happen. just seems like the car jump far too straight without something being ****ed before hand. that blows though, he looked like a midwest redneck!

    if done right, I don't see a problem doing ch***is work with 110, but as you said..PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION to what your doing.

    I'm with FEDER.....ever since harbor freight started selling those cheap *** 110 welders..........this is what happens.

    I've got nothing against people trying to do stuff themselves but "a mans got to know his limitations" (quoting Dirty Harry).

    ah, i see.

    it looks like he could have mounted the brackets on the FRONT of the rear....video is a little blurry. Maybe I am seeing it wrong?
     
  12. Upon inspection after the fact the welds looked like ****, almost nonexistant lil tacks.

    I did a post on how lame it is to use a 110 wire feed on ch***is components and metal thicker than the 110 welder's design parameters. It was met with mixed results, kinda like teaching a pig to sing in fact. A little formal instruction never hurt anybody.
