LOL okay i'll give you a hint: welding is where you use a machine to melt two pieces of metal together. JBWeld is like epoxy or glue :P

Buy a cheap wire feed welder, find/buy/steal some metal, and start practicing. You'll be decent in no time.

Welding is one of those things that you just have to pick up a welder and do..

Steel is easy.
Iron is a little weird, but kinda easy.
Aluminum is just impossible.

With a $50 Harbor Freight chop saw and a POS mig welder you can build 2 outta the 3 hardest/custom things on a HMT.
#1 Charge piping
#2 Down pipe and exhuast

The 3rd thing requires welding, but I'd leave it to a pro with a Tig welder. Which is the exhuast manifold.

just pester quandine when you need welding help. He seems to know his ---- pretty well, and would probably help you out with any q's you have. i'd help you I'm bitter because quandine has a hoodlum mask with an autodarkening lens, and i couldn't afford any of that ---- :P
