Exxelent work. never knew it was that bad,

Almost makes mt CH Hardtop look solid. Ok maybe not.

I for one know the amount of welding, bodywork and hard graft that must of gone into that.

well done

You give welding lessons, Jim?

If there's even more to this than the pics you've shown, please keep posting.

I'll give you a shout when the cutting and welding starts, Mate!

There'll be some home made header fun going on soon enough.

Back to yours though, Mate... You got to dig the rest of those photo's out, Bud. Let's have the full story!

Looks like an epic.

Could inspire someone to buy Dunc's Cuda too.

What welder do you use Jim, Ibought a 200 Amp AC/DC TIG a few weeks ago and I don't think I'll ever use oxyacetylene again.

challenger · Post by **challenger** » Fri Feb 06, 09 10:37 pm

mig welder, cebora and the one at work is a weldrite , the weldrite must be 25 year old but will match any mig, never used a tig but sure would like to , excellent for exhaust work
