            Prove what, that there's ugly welds beneath that heat wrap? That's why we did it, hahaha. It was the only Pro Hot Rod car with heat wrap this weekend.

            The manifold holds up fine, it just doesn't look the best, haha.

                    Here is my question. I know nothing about blonde asian women, baseball, or welding. Even though Joel's welding yields some jizzum splatter, does it effect the strength of the weld? For the flange on the downpipe, would a 'non jizzum splatter' weld offer the extra NEEDED strength, or would it be ok? I ask in all seriousness, cause besides not being the most attractive, I don't see why it wouldn't do the task... Again, I am a welding noob and have utmost respect to anyone that can make a straight bead.

                      ^From my understanding, it is more that the machine was not set up properly for the welding that it was used for. The splatter is material that could have been part of the weld. For the exhaust welding, its not a problem, I have seen MUCH worse work from local exhuast shops.

                      PM me for:
                      Sandblasting(I use glass beads)
                      Diesel repairs or performance products.

                        It had to do with the fact that I had only 700 PSI of gas left, and I was at the end of a small spool of wire(meaning the wire comes out of the tip of the gun very unevenly.) Settings had nothing to do with it, otherwise the weld itseld would look like shit.

                          i did those welds on with the remainder of the wire and a diff tank of gas that had only 500ish psi left.... i just played around with the wire speed a bit.... and i am no MIG welder....

                              LOL are you serious???? really now are you serious??

                              drrrrrrrrrrrrrr hhmmmmm that flow meter next to the cylinder pressure gauge does nothing

                              a cylinder with with only 300psi left is going to hold a steady CFH of gas flow.... it will stay consistent and not fall off till it cannot the support the level of gas flow you are asking for........... which is far far south of 700psi

                              lol god that is fucking funny...... we change all our $70 worth of shielding gas out when it gets below 1000psi because it makes my welds look like dog shit

                              I thought you go to NDSU........... pay more attention in the fluid/gas dynamics section of your physics class

                                +1.. I could see if there's a diff psi flowing, but amount left shouldnt matter, as long as it comes out at the same rate...
