Just remember that it is just metal and anything can be fixed....just as long as you know how to weld.
My guess is crappy Home Depot welder, dirty metal, bad ground, no gas, and the mindset of "I watched them do it on Monster Garage once so I can do...
Why do people buy welders and then never learn how to use them? It's not that hard really it's pretty easy to lay a good bead or spot weld body...
I don't know the guy but I did a search for "space herpie" and found this post......
The newest car I have ever owned/driven was a 82 El camino with a 305 that I had for about 2 months then sold cause I hated it. This has been my...
Find the jerk off that did that, take his harbor freight welder away from him and then beat him about the head and groin! I hope you didn't pay...
I took these at Hotrod-a-rama 2006 [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I think this should be the cover. I don't know who took it, I found it on...
Im gettin snipped on Saturday but I will be there Sunday with a bag of ice on my junk. Theres not too many meets left this season so I can't miss any.
The motor is in place without any jackstands!!! I need to goto the metal store and get some 4" disks for my grinder so I can clean up the mounts...
Crossmember time!!! I cut out a section in the center where the mount will be then dropped it down and welded it back in (remember to V cut your...
I know this D.P. is from 86 but does anyone remember Leslies? This was from the last show they had there :( I was just a little kid but I had some...
Anyone from the area know what happened(or have more pics) of this? I have been trying to track this down to get some pics of it for my dad (and...
Are you Rick R.?
I know this is an older post but here are a few of my dads pics from the 60's-70's around the Seattle and Bellingham areas. My dad ran a Cheveron...
Well it's getting the Lancer caps and a healthy lowering. The wheels and tires that are on it are just rollers for now.
Looking at it again I think I will C-notch the top of the crossmember instead of the bottom. Like you said there is alot of room under the floor...
Yup Im going to do both the C-notches on the driverside because of where the headers exit. Here is a pic that I photoshopped. It's kind of crappy...
Hey Todd can you post a pic of those peices for me? I just fabbed up a tranny crossmember. I still have to do the final welding, drill the...

Wow you know your right! It is big and ugly and that little slant six wont work either. I should cut it all off and put the stock grill and the...
It will be at Hotrod-a-rama next year for sure and at others before that. It is going to be Nikkis daily driver so it will go all over the place....
Case in point...... I have a few of those around here. I offered to drop in a 360 but Nikki wanted her beefed slant six and the title is in...
Thats what I was thinking. Im going to go with a 15" steel wheel with Lancer caps and wide whites so it will fill the wheel well a little more but...
