charge pipes = finished!! *pics* *PICS BACK UP*
 

well, as many of you may know, i tried my hand at welding last week and thought i was getting the hang of it pretty good, so i decided to go ahead and make my charge pipes. man, towards the end, i learned how to get a good bead and i could keep it going until i had to stop because the pipes were laying flat on the ground :-\ anyways, a grinder and some high temp engine paint is all you need to look like a pro ;D

Re:charge pipes = finished!! *pics*

Nice, flat black, looks great now, I'm going to have to do mine also, ---- it, I will. Even if they look like ---- in the end, flat paint will cover it all, and they will work better than my homodepot couplings.
Good Job

i welded my oil pan this weekend and my weld looked just like yours, and i've been welding for years :-\ not having gas really sucks.

your welds are looking nice, at least they don't have gaps in them like my exhaust welds.
