How about talking about your equipment?
Looking at the Everlast MIG 140 for now. It's 110VAC, so it plugs into an outlet. I gotta just take care of light welding - mostly exhaust and smaller projects for steel right now. If I feel the need to upgrade, I'll go to a 200A unit later... $400 for this unit off Amazon. From this, I'll probably go to a 200A TIG unit, since I want to concentrate more on the aluminum and SS stuff. $1200 is a lot of bang for the buck! Yeah, I know the hardcore "red" / "blue" guys are cringing, but I don't have $1000 and $2000 to drop on this kinda stuff. I don't think I'll get serious - i.e. certified - anytime soon; got too much other things I gotta take care of, so it's hobbyist level right now. I follow ChuckE2009 on YouTube, and he makes these Everlast units look really attractive... -Ted

On a serious note here is my latest project : fab a full stainless exhaust , header back . Header will be made of schedule 10 weld ells and a rb ss flange ( designing it on solid works now ) . Exhaust consists of mandrel bent 3" to rb pre silencer and rb power pulse muffler . This is for my 77sp and if any of you guys are looking for a good place to buy tubing , bends , etc . then you should check out Ace Race Stainless . I have no affiliation with this company , I was referred by a friend and I'm glad I checked them out .

Can you explain a bit more about Solid Works? Do you use that to make a design before you buy the materials? How long does it take to make a design and how accurate is it when it comes time to fab up the final product? |

. my 2 cents . All the work looks great that I've seen so far . The Home made velocity stacks are especially cool . THis is a cool thread as it sits and I enjoy seeing all the talent in the mazda community .
