Give me something to weld

Ok guys, I'm excited

I just got a $500 welding kit for $150 at Lowes

Now what should I weld?

a roll cage in your car.

also remove the glue holding together your car and weld the spots.

make a manifold

That's a good idea.

Make that a TURBO manifold:wink:

Its just a small MIG welder, so I can only weld mild and some alloyed steels. Not aluminum :mad:

you can weld your rims to your car, that way they wont be stolen
































of course you would never be able to take the tires off then.... :icon16:

haha I actually bought a car once that the guy welded the wheels on the car.

It was a $50 Geo Metro... It was suppose to be a field car, but we didnt get that far since the wheels were welded on.

stitch weld your whole damn frame!!!:biggrin2:

You should weld anything you can get your hands on! Practice makes perfect! And after you've got your welding down, I'd like a turbo manifold! Bigger piping too, but you'll need to buy yourself a pipe bender and practice too! lol

if you have a two-piece header you can weld the main header to that secondary pipe. i heard that it solves some rattling and leak problems :biggrin:

We should make a whole new thread about this. Chassis & Suspension dynamics...

Welding the entire frame so it is solid is not a good idea. have a little bit of flex in your chassis is a good thing (he he he I sound like Martha Stewart). But, only in certain places.

aluminum would be the worst choice for a manifold anyways. mild steel makes decent manifolds. i say go for it :biggrin:

aluminum for an intake manifold though :smile:

can you weld my ground for my exhaust!!?!?!:icon16:
