cept for hotrex's dogshit tigs.


get the gas conversion, you'll poop your pants at the difference. for flux core non gas, the welds look pretty run of the mill, looks like you needs you some more heat tho.

you can always go over a shitty MIG with TIG and clean it up a lot.

Well, I'm off to install my exhaust. Lets hope my skillz get better. I'll take pics of the aftermath too.

ok, I got it mostly up except the part after the "over the rear axel" part, bc the bend to the muffler is too long and makes the muffler like 4 inches outside the bumper. lol.

I went to walmart to get a cutting wheel for my angle grinder and of course they are out of them. wtf. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to get this ---- done, and I work all day tomorrow.

Here are a couple pics of one of the flanges I welded today. I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out. part of it looks like *** because I had to break the flange off like 3 times before I got the angle right.
