Moderators Psychorugby Posted January 29, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 You did a great job making your own panels. Looks like you fit them in there real nice. I'm sure it'll be smooth as glass when you're done! Thanks, I couldn't have even gotten started with this without @95opal's help. the snow ball effect is easy. mine started with swaping in an IRS. now i have a SHELL...with an IRS in it I have a shell with some sheet metal welded in the engine bay! Nice! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Great progress Chris, like I said on FB you need to get some gas for that MM140, you'll be glad you did. It will weld much better, and require a lot less grinding. I use the Argon/co2 mix gas in mine and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rental welder, so I didn't feel like spending the $200+ on a gas tank, regulator, tips, wire, etc. When I get my own, I will definitely get the gas for it.

95riosnake Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ohhh I didn't know you were renting a welder, makes sense I guess. Keep your eyes peeled on CL for a nice little MIG maybe, they can usually be had with a cart and accessories minus the gas cylinder for a few hundred or less. It's rare that someone includes their gas cylinder though, so you'd still have to add that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to come bye and get you motivated or has tax season have you working OT?Don't do taxes... Not even my own. That being said, I've done absolutely nothing since I returned the welder. Not because I don't want to, but because I've put in 3 80+ hour weeks at work/school. Terrible excuse, I know. I want to be out today doing something, but just got roped into furniture shipping I think. Are you leaving tomorrow?Yah WTF Chris.

Fortunately, it's nor buried... and there is work to be done real soon. I am a bump steer kit and a couple of holes in my spindles away from mocking up the front suspension and dropping the block on the K member to check for clearances.
