I didn't know chromoly could rust interesting, i though the chromium would counteract that like it does in stainless

Carefully.
I have 5 times the amount of time into fitting tube than welding tube. Fitting is definitely the more complicated part of it. But the more I do, the easier it gets.It will surface rust. Not too bad though unless it's in direct exposure to moisture or somewhere incredibly humid.
I'm not sure which marks you're refering to. HAZ shows a little more when the surface is DA'd (mill scale removal). Some of the heat marks in the pics above is from the tempering done after welding. Chromoly turns a dull gray after tempering.

I didn't know if it was rust or haz marks cause i didn't know if you wire wheel'd anything or how old it was. Nothin inportant

How's that header coming along, Warren?
I'll be starting my next compound build in a couple months (weather permitting). I only have the patience to work with sch-10 about twice a year, but that always keeps be looking forward to the next build.

The header is coming along slowly, but I am enjoying the process. I got a little side tracked on the car, basically redoing some of the exhaust so that it exits the reverse lights

A 20g and an HX52. The 20g is in a large, reworked T3 housing with a 60mm gate. And the Holset will be stuffed into a large Tial v-band housing with a 45mm gate.
Both turbos were already rebuilt by Justin. I just have to square away the v-band housing for the Holset and they'll both be ready to run.

My latest welding project. Can anyone guess what it is? Clues: It has a threaded boss on the underside at each corner, and the 4-hole pattern on the one corner might give it away.

I painted it after I took these pics. I'll assemble it all tonight and post completed pics. We'll see if anyone can figure it out between now and then.

It's definitely a rack. Something else mounts to it.

That looks like a rack for bending dies and the 4 bolt pattern is where the hydraulic pump mounts.

Bingo.
Converting my manual to an air-over-hydraulic. The base of the bender bolts on where the 4 holes are. And the casters thread into the bosses. Should be pretty nice once it's all together.

Yeah, the MB105HD is what I have. Seems nice, but I haven't used it yet. The swap is really simple with the SWAG bracket and HF cylinder.
