What happened to this build?!

maces13 · 11-14-2013, 04:49 AM

Holy hell, i just read this entire thread, fucking beautiful bro. My build will be like this (if im lucky) but im still on strpping the interior. Couple questions though... 1. Are you upgrading the rims to match the caliber of the rest of the build? 2. What is the brand/specs of your welder? I couldn't tell in the pic, im looking for a good one. 3. Did you know how to weld before this build, or youre that good just from this project? Thanks for the inspirational boost, good luck on the rest bro

JoeyTheKid · 11-14-2013, 06:12 AM

Very inspirational thread to say the absolute least. The attention to detail and perfection displayed is out of this world. The fact that you've been doing it for a couple years now also makes me feel better about the turtle pace of my ka-t built lol.

It's been put on the back burner the last year mostly due to money.

Thank you very much. I plan on upgrade the wheels after everything else is complete. I actually really like the wheels, so no a rush. As far as the other questions ill have Daniel answer, he's the mad man behind the fab work.

Thank you. Detail is everything for us. If it wasn't what we wanted 100% it would get re-done. It's definitely hard to stay positive about it when it's been three project, with a year of down time.

Thanks for the kind words guy's. This thread has been dead for a while and needs some updates. I hope to have something for you all in the upcoming months.

This car was built off the new Miller Matic 211 Autoset MVP. I have welded up to 7/8" multi pass with it and it will burn through 1/4" pretty easy. I love it best welder I have ever owned. I learned how to weld early 1998 and been welding since. Went to multiple schools for welding and fabrication. But with the miller 211 autoset anyone can do it with a small crash course. The owner of the LS6 BMW b3 build im doing bought one after using mine and he has turned into a pretty good mig welder.

I thank you for the kond words. It really helps because its fallen off the map a little. But I see good things in this cars future and plan to have it at Longbeach FD.

Thank you everyone for the kind words

Stand up guy right here.

Can't wait for updates.

When you run these bash bars, do you still run front and rear bumpers, or do you just leave them out mad max style?

Thank you sir. I take pride in what I do and refuse to apply drift tax to anything.

Both bumpers are on the car with the bash bars. Mounted using self ejecting D-zus fasteners.
