SublimeRT Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Looks really good. You did a great job fixing that properly. Now that you're done welding in those areas I'd go back and shoot some paint or cavity wax, or both, inside the rails in those areas the best you can, if you haven't or weren't planning on it. I'm sure the heat from welding burned the paint off in there where you can't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well this weekend was a wash. I dedicated Friday & Sunday to be alone time in the garage and it all went downhill from just the thought. Went in to find the kitchen guys made good use of the limited space I had in there. So my plans for my friend to come over, help me unload the crate and put the motor on the stand were canceled. Ok so not a total waste right, there's other things to do. Plug in the welder and figured I'd weld out the engine panels, wrong again. I knew my liner in the torch was going but it finally was just too unbearable to use. If I even looked at it funny the wire wouldn't feed properly making it nearly impossible to weld overhead. Went to the supply store to get a new one and they didn't have any in stock so it had to be ordered. Figured Sunday I could start routing wires but when I woke up it was WAY too nice out to be in the garage playing with wiring so I loaded up the bag, called my buddy and made a b-line it to the golf course for 18.

Steve-Oh Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Called the welding supply store again on Monday and got the same response he gave me a twice prior "I'm expecting it no later than Wednesday...". Well it's been two Wednesdays and still no liner. Found another smaller Medical gas supply store a few towns over that I took a ride to today. They're more focused on supplying gas but were more than happy to help me out. After a few phone calls he was able to locate a liner and said they'll have it tomorrow. Fingers crossed this isn't another run around. Worst case is I convert everything over to .035 wire and call it a day, either way I'll be welding by this weekend!

What kind of welder do you have?I just have a small Home Depot 110 Lincoln. Places don't usually stock the smaller .030 liners which I understand but two weeks and "the run around" is unacceptable to me lol.I want to upgrade machines so bad, local supply company carries a lot of nice used machines. Money is probably spent wisely elsewhere at this point though Sent from Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeRT Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I gotcha. Around here you can find Miller and Hobart parts everywhere but Lincoln stuff is hard to find besides what's at Lowes. I too would like to upgrade my machine, but other stuff has to come first. I know the feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
