![]() Man! I'm so happy (look at the smilie face if you don't believe me------>
![]() NOTE TO SELF AND ANYONE ELSE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE There is a line that separates saving money and getting it done correctly. It is a lesson that I have learned again. First try was with the son of a friend of a friend. He was an intermediate welder and well, even though he tried and did a really good job in some welds (but unacceptable in other places), it would have been better to just take it to the professionals in the first place. I mean, when you have tell the welder (while he's welding in the trunk) "hey, don't you think you should put a fire blanket over the gas tank area and wires b4 you start welding" it's probable that something's ain't quite right. And if you gotta tell him "hey, I need the bar welded all the way around, there can be no gaps or holes in the welds, even if it may be "too hard" for you to reach." ![]() Now there are some things that I'll still do "cheap", but I'll more carefully evaluate my situation next time. Later.....
