:dizzy: I'm glad I don't live near "Bear Lake" Wow!
No kidding! Wow reading that "build" thread makes me sad, especially seeing all the "Nice fabrication skills bro!" comments he got. They have no idea, just like on Pirate4x4.. The welds are questionable looking throughout, but the steering rack, steering shaft, transmission crossmember, trailer hitch, panhard mounts, and rear caliper mounts are especially worrisome.
Worst of all is that it's someone else's car that's being destroyed
and he's charging good money for all this. Apparently shes a widow in her late 60s.. This project has disaster written all over it and somebody is going to get seriously hurt. My god. :dizzy:
Best quote from the builder in the entire thread:
"You obviously can't read. I already explained how I'm sick of the BS about ugly welds being weak welds. I've had mine tested, not one ever failed. When you butt-weld 2 pieces together, and clamp them in the tester, and it tries to pull your weld apart, it's a pass if the failure is not the weld not even the heat-affected zone. Further, if you grind a weld, ugly or not, and can never find the original seam where the 2 original pieces met before welding, then you know it was good. Stick welding is inherently ugly, just as TIG is inherently pretty. Can't be escaped.
Furthermore, weld failure is no risk on street radials, the tires will let loose before anything else. So stfu and stay the hell out of my thread since you have nothing helpful to contribute, or I'll be showing the moderators what you're posting. You need to grow the hell up and be a real man.
You're just jealous you can neither build like me, nor keep your progress flowing as I do. You being such a childish jerk is why I stopped trying to help you with your threads here and on thirdgen.org. Obviously you have no reciprocal courtesy.
Everyone else who wants to see this car's completion please tell oilpan what time it is."
