I am rying to decide wether I want to go with a top/side/full exhaust setup
not sure what would limit me from certain classes of racing
 
This isnt a welding post but anyone have a good recommendation for a 7x12 wet bandsaw? Looking at baileigh bs712M or the jet equivilent.

Also looking for a good 6x48 belt sander for decking flanges. Looking also at the jet and baileigh. Figure the welders here may have experiences with some of these.

Here is some metal art that I ended up doing for the ol' ladies parents and grandparents for holiday gifts made out of 304 stainless.

Looks great. How do you get your swirls so brite? When I do it and clear it, seems to get dull
 
Thanks damcrzy, the flag is actually 100% scale even down to the O.D. Of the stars. Phillips 66 design is a one off for her grandparents. Since they used to own a Phillips 66 back in the early 70's and the 62 resembles they year they were married.

Gamble97 what kind/grade of metal metal are you using and grain finish when you are ending up with dull swirl texture?
I've always used/prefer to use 304 stainless. I believe it was 2b mill finish. Either way if it was grained finish or not it would work depending on desired look.

I end using a slightly worn down flap disc. And make my tight swirls patterns going L to R across the whole thing then rotate workpiece to make swirls 90 degrees from the first and work in a 45 degrees too. Different layered angles with different size swirls is what I got it to make it pop and I just use a crystal clear enamel.
 
I wanted to be more self reliant, so I bought a tig welder and signed up for an aluminum tig welding class. It's 3 hours one night a week for 2 months. I have been in class for a month now and have been playing with the welder off and on for 2 months, mostly all aluminum.

Stairs from class.

So its not something i like doing much but Ive been told its got to be done like this, its mig welding stainless! I never think it looks good or comes out as nice as you want it to and trying to get a good flat weld is not eays easy with 1.2mm walled tubing! But it came out ok, I tig's the pipes together as i kick up a fuss about mig welding them as i say they just are really un neat and i dont like the look of them but i can get away with mig on the brackets and pipes to the box's etc,

The bigger box there is for a stratos with the alfa 146 engines in, ive got 3 to build and ive already started cutting the bends up for it today,.

Going to try out more of my gas lense kit i got, see how i get on and see if i can improve the finish and goin some more color aswell to make it OH SO PRETTY!!!

Manifold prototyping is taking place over here! Working on a dsm standard placement t3 manifold or 10. Just got the materials picked up today, just need flanges and the work will officially start! Shop is coming together slowly but surely! Just got a jet 7x12 horizontal wet bandsaw and a baileigh 6x48 belt sander! Dynasty210DX is next on the list to glue these up! Diversion180 isnt cutting it foR production anymore

You are brave miging .065 haha
Yeah but its what the customer requests, these are for AC cobras and its all hand made from box to packing as its there design to get it through sva testing etc, if i could i would rather tig it all but i can at least get away with the brackets and the pipes to the boxes as it gives me slightly more material to weld to,
 
Your 1.2mm stainless welds look really good. All of our customers are moving that direction. 0.45" material is a pain in the ass to weld, especially when you have to build 1000+ manifolds a day with out of control manufacturing tolerances and robots that don't have situational awareness.
 
Anyone need any steel 3/8 or 1/2 flanges? Got a sheet of both of those materials coming next week
 
Did half this t4 collectlr for a 2g topmount t4 divided manifold I'm working on, little rusty at welding lately, been doing a ton of fab work lately with not as much welding as I'd like.

Not my best but not my worst, only 200psi of argon left. This is a prototype that may get coated.
