As I said though, the fab work is great. In the worlds of fab work and welding, there's some people that are good at one and some good at the other. It may just be that this guy hasn't gotten a lot of experience and is picking up on the fab a bit quicker than the welding.

No offense taken. ;) I can appreciate an experienced/knowledgable opinion. After using the Miller welder at my friends shop I don't ever want to weld with my flux welder again. I thought I was a shitty welder because all of my welds with the flux look like ass, but I'm really not that bad with a good welder. :-\

Welding can be compared to autocross racing, where driver skill is very imortant, but if you're driving a stock Chevette, you're going to lose no matter how good a driver you are.

Re:some badass whitey bends

All that welding on that pipe was a waste of time and shows the shops lack of material sourcing.
They could and should have bought some exhaust DONUTS from HERE
They are made for impossible tight areas. Been using them in the Mustang community for years (Covell has been manufacturing them and other metal fab stuff since before most of you were born :P )

Re:some badass whitey bends

you can't compare those to whitey stylez y0, the welds are too "machine welded" looking. We need to big ol' fat ARC welding style y0
