    :rolleyes:...That's a pretty cool functional acquisition. I can see why this is much more than an old arc welder...in my short search it's pretty notable the man who powered it was a truly gifted Mechanical Genius/Fabricator/Hotrodder/Racer and I'm assuming in part inspiration behind the screenname...

    Did you know him personally? Estate sale? I can only imagine what he may have had being so successful and incredibly diversified within go fast...

    That is way cool, and probably about the same age as my big old Forney welder.
