I have a friend who spends his days Welding Semi trailers and I have
watched him attempt the Gum wrappers.... the coke can was easy for him....

My welding so far isn't quite as good.... but with the Tig like Mayf's I am
doing fair work..... Still haven't tried anything serious... but then I am
just Practicing.

Looking forward to doing something that is going to be on the car....

I did order the 4 Bar set up for the Camaro today.... from Total Cost
Involved
no matter what I do this thing is going to have more then it had last time
and I am worried about my Current set up being able to take much more
Horsepower.. You can ask Darrel what he thinks but it's a pretty average
set up that has worked well to this point but really needs an upgrade....
and that was the one part I was sure I needed to do.
