Ask Shadow how you did. He's in full supervisor mode right now. He won't lie to you. The wife?? They all lie to us. But Shadow won't lie.
Yeah that was just in case but I might need to run it full depending on how the weight bias is.
Shadow is very proud of his daddy.

One day soon you'll have Popcorn out there to supervise. Once he's out there you won't be able to get away with dang thing with his big, hairy *** watching your every move.
Yep he will definitely will
Looking good but why are you adding so much weight to the car? My fuel cell is held in place with aluminum straps that weight less than a pound total.... lol
Simple answer I have steel, I don't have money for aluminum.
I also wanted one more cross member in the back.
Not to mention I'm going to be hitting the tires at around 650 ft lbs of torque, id like to hook lol.
Also I like building stuff.
I get it.
I didn't get a hole lot done today.
Lol Since Bill was mean to me about making my car heavy I had to go find so weight to remove from the trunk. Now my fuel cell frame is -2 pounds.
I was going to drill some holes in that frame but my stupid 1/4 inch pilot drill bit bent at some point and was wobbling, I sez f it... Good enough.
Then I cleaned up paint and rust , cut stuff out & made some trunk floor panels.
I did my "okay" best on it .
Drill holes for spot welds.... yeah 160 of them lol

I'd tell Tim. lol
I just learned a very crappy lesson.
My spot weld holes are too big and I'm burning my new metal.
My mig won't work well in the lowest setting.
I have the wire speed up max and on the 2nd setting it's an .035 wire only millermatic 35
Piss me off.
I'll fix it or just put some light weight carpet in.
From now on I'm using a 1/16 drill bit.

He'd just laugh at me & be mean too lol
Just don't let him off the leash, and don't feed him raw wild game. lol
That's his wife's job....lol
To keep him on a leash? I doubt that. but maybe
She can't control what varmints he might encounter outside his shop. I hear there's a few coyote around. lol
Step on his foot.
Snakes are probably popping out this week too.To keep him on a leash? I doubt that. but maybe

He hates the woodpecker that made a hole in his garage. Coyotes are out like bandits now

Two atmospheres are better than one
Ive found on my millermatic 211 and other small welders that the wire speed adds a percentage of voltage to the weld. Keep the power the same and turn your wire down and try it.
Edited to add, from weldingweb forums;
Wire speed tracking is where the wire speed increases or decreases as VOLTAGE control is increased or decreased in order to help the operator stay within the weld parameters when making voltage changes.

Are you going to gusset the sliders at the overhang on the framerails?

For those areas you could try a strip of metal as filler if it's easier to 'repair'. 1/16 is pretty standard because you can cleko pin/fit the sheet metal.
