    Youtube question

    So after putting a roast in the oven tonight I was surfing YouTube. I was really surprised to see that two videos were there, posted by me (67 dart on alcohol first start). Here is the weird thing. I have never posted anything to YouTube, and I am fairly certain that the only place I posted...

    Welding help needed

    So yeah, I found the problem. Thanks for all the help! The biggest help was that it is a lack of sheilding gas, and to put a bag over the end of the welding tip to see how much gas is coming out. It turns out that even though I could hear a slight hiss at the tip, there was very little gas...

    Welding help needed

    OK, thanks guys. The nozzle is clear, maybe I will look deeper into the machine and see if there is a gas leak somewhere.....

    Welding help needed

    I typically have the gas set at 25 to 30 cfh. What am I doing wrong? Is there a problem with me, or with this machine?

    Welding help needed

    Here is an example of the welds that I am now getting on a practice piece. This series of welds were tried at different power and wire feed settings, and at different gas feed settings. I just want to see a nice pool with good penetration.

    Welding help needed

    So the last time that I used this welder, a few weeks ago, to weld a winch onto my trailer, it started acting weird half way through the job. It started acting as if it was running out of sheilding gas. Yes, it is 120v. The argon tank has plenty in it, when i pull the trigger I can see the...

    Welding help needed

    So i am just about to start welding a patch panel on the rocker of my 55 Dodge, and before I start I figured that I should check my welding ability first. To start with, here is the mig that I have, borrowed from a friend. I have had this welder on semi permanent loan for a year and have used...

    VIRUS HITTING CLOSE TO HOME

    If you are lucky enough to get into a hospital..... wait a few weeks, 25,000 cases in New York and doubling every two days. Sure, it may be like a flu but it is extremely catchy and affects the respiratory tract. Hospitals will quickly be overfull.

    Is anyone sick or know anyone

    I know of three people firsthand - one of my drag racing budies, his girlfriend and her girlfriend (who is the gf of another car budde) all have it. The ladies are dentists. Then I know of another 2 or three people who are not direct friends and have it. This virus is very real and wreaks...

    how's everyone holding up?

    I personally know three people that are confirmed to have covid 19. A racing buddy, his wife and her girlfriend who is the girlfriend of another good racing buddy. I also know of at least two or three other cases that are friends of friends. That being said, things are good in my home and our...

    74 dart project

    Sorry, didn't realize it was a fresh engine. If it is a backyard rebuild it could still have an undersized crank, and worn out cam bearings. You should probably drop the pan, look at the oil pump and check the condition of the crank journals and bearings.

    74 dart project

    Sounds like a typical worn out engine with bearing clearances worn beyond their service life. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I have been there two or three times and tried new bearings, oil pumps and thicker oil to no avail. The real solution is to rebuild the engine, turn or...

    My new project

    The car has had the tail lights and antenna holes frenched in, the original taillights were in the fender / body line interface.

    My new project

    Yes, google 1950 Dodge fastback and images will come up.

    My new project

    Yes, kind of a hard sell I am sure. I am into this one cheap enough so far, only 1,000 Canadian and plan to do it ratty and on the cheap. It definitely isn't a money making deal, LOL.
