I wanted to practice notching and welding the tubing before I get started on the cage. Trying different settings to get the heat and wire speed right. Here are my first results:
45° miter, not too bad of a fit.
90° miter. Decent fit also.
Blurry photo but the weld is much better.
Here’s my first weld with the new welder. It’s nice to have something that works properly!
First weld with the new Hobart.
Finally got a decent welder. Hobart Handler 140
Stock photo. I'll post a photo of my setup soon.
We had a blog previously that tracked the Twisted Camaro build but our server was hacked and all data was lost. So instead of trying to recreate the old blog, I’ll post all of the pictures from the past and comment on them where necessary. I’ll then start with the most current work and try to update the build regularly.
So, below are some of the photos of the car from when it was purchased up to today.
