Its a science experiment of sorts for a car we've been building in the shop since the beginning of the year.
There is alot of r&d time in this car, and if you look carefully you will see something totally out of the ordinary that no one has done in the past. The fab work was shared between Damian @ TM-SPL, John @ Alloy Fab, and myself.

Strong work! I'm aiming to bring my skill level up to yours.

A little exhaust work. Added some resonators for a friend of mines.
I have a new found love for these cars.

Decided to give making a dimple brace for my rear strut. Really feels solid with just the front piece welded on, i will place another sheet on the other side but i have to remove the tar mat. took a while to weld since i had to stich weld it(didn't figure this out until i was half way done). but you can see on the right side was stich weld and came out decent.

that strut bar is steel?

Yup sure is, It is welded to the shock towers too. Is that a bad thing that it is steel?

not at all. its a good thing.

Most ive come across have been aluminum.

I was gonna ask how you welded steel to aluminum.

Thought you were doing magic
haha

got ya, lol. I dont have the equipment to weld aluminum right now so ye.

Made pedestal stand for surge tank, ran lines and made brackets hidden from view so it looks like its floating.


Started on some piping work, ran out of gas after teaching a few friends how to weld.
Able to tack a few pieces together before bottle was legit empty.
