I don't care what anyone else says, but I would totally rock that truck!! I'm a sucker for flames as most of you know so it catches my eye.... my kids even holler and point out any flames they see on anything lol...

 

186$ for the 40, it's the one that's a little over knee high.

That 125 should do up to 1/4 " nicely.

This is the thread I started for when I got my welder. It has pictures of the pressure washer cart that I converted into a welding cart and my practice welds on there. You'll see how the difference between flux core wire and solid wire is pretty drastic.

186 wow!!!!!!!!!!! and i still got to buy a hose and vavle to go form the welder to the tank...oh well

 

The Pro Mig 180 comes with a hose and regulator.
I'm just sayin...

Oh, I also dropped 200$ on all the wire and boxes and stuff needed to properly run a 240v outlet from the breaker box to the end of the house where I do my welding and to make a heavy duty 30' extension cord.
I bought too much wire though, so I could have saved some money but I don't think your can return unused wire.

 

3,306lbs of scrap hauled in today @ $5/100-lbs. A new personal best and the old girl hauled it like a champ! I had a few hundred pounds of scrap in the bed as well.

 

How many VW owners did you **** off with that load??

Unknown. Click here to see my post and then follow the thread. Since it's a long weekend, it may be a while before some people post.

The two Super Beetle (the rather complete car and shell) came from a friend. We were going to do a body swap until he discovered the complete car was more rusted than he thought. He wanted to keep it because it has an original sunroof. I told him to scrap it all because he has two project cars in his barn, two more in the garage, a Karmann Ghia waiting in the wings, two Busses, and another Super that he needs to dump. Inside the complete car was the remnants of a 1969 from my collection, and then that early clip. I've collected a lot of stuff over the years to keep original parts in circulation; however, my priorities in life have changed, and since I don't have the time or inclination to try and salvage everything to try and sell, it's just easier and more convenient to scrap it all

 

At least you get the satisfaction of going outside to drink your morning coffee and seeing a nice clean yard.

 

^^ It is rather nice, plus I am planning to sell this place and move to town. Living in the sticks and owning an acreage just don't work out for me anymore.

 

How about some updated pictures of the challenger build? Bet you guys forgot about that bad boy.

Engine being built:





Coil Pack covers:








Motor fitted to the car:


Turbos:




The video below IS NOT the same challenger! It is owned by another guy who is getting basically the same build as Jim is, but without all the dress up items. Note that when Steve says low boost, he means around 3PSI on a motor capable of handling over 30 pounds.
