    I thought i would share these with you !!!

     



    I had a chassis bought to me a while ago and was asked if these welds were ok as they look a little uneven

    I'm going to grind them out and reweld them all, I like a challenge

    I'm not sure if it was Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder that was weilding the torch !!!

    My personal favourite is the last pic















    Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.

    Did you ask to see anything else he practiced on!!!
    The second weld looks like he was trying to weld upward in stead of down.
    HE! HE! HE!

    at least the welds held long enough for it to rust.

    Some time when you go to a fair size car show, crawl under some of the home built, kinda rough cars and you will be surprised at the spit, baling wire assembly and welds holding them together. I'm a mediocre welder at best, but when I bought my little mig, I took a course at the local welding school. Six evenings over 3 weeks - a half hour of classroom, 2-1/2 hours of burning wire.

    Since Hworrell went with a superhero reference, I'll go demonic.

    After seeing those pictures, we now all know what it would look like if Satan ate a barrel of spoiled chili...
