My cousin told me there is a gas im supposed to use? if so what is it called.

 

argon but it is just sheilding gas but you have to make sure your welder has lines to use it you dont have to have it but it makes your weld better

 

I like that black and lime green paint it looks sick I bought and 81 off some guy cuz the body was "perfect" with fresh paint had it for two days and all the paint flaked off cuz the whole body was rusted to sh#t haha but I fixed it all and I'm at about the same stage you are but no motor yet

 

Geez! That had to tick you off just a little!?

 

Hey, welcome aboard.

Thanks, i can't wait till its at that stage to put on the decals

That sucks about your car, but now you'll get to know her better.
you sould post a project thread and put up some pics, id love to watch you strip her down and dress her up (i like watching once and awhile lol)

 

Argon, cool thanks, sounds like a midevil name (Argon Arillious Maximus lol)

can i get that stuff at any local supplier?

 

Argon will be available at any welding supply store. It will only be good for steel welding. If you weld stainless steel or aluminum you need a argon-oxygen mix for that.

 

Cool, thanks

i'll look around for some

 

Do you know how hard it is to find a pipe thats flanged in cornwall? real lol.

i grinded the flanged pipe off of my exhaust for my headers to replace and i search my whole town. first i tried Canadian tire and nothing but a maybe those guys have it (heard alot of that today), i went to napa same thing, i went to autopak they didnt even check the computers and they sent me to jiffy, jiffy looked up the part # and said "autopak should have it, its says 5 in stock. So..... i went back to autopak they said "well what do ya know, it's $57.50" WHAT (my reaction) and it doesnt come with the gasket or anything. On my way to Alba Performance i seen a little shop and said screw it stopped there, and little did i know buddy had all the stuff for making it and make it he did, 3 min it took him cost me $5 (+ $20 in gas on the search lol).

 

That's still a savings over the $57 price! I've never even tried buying them locally, as I just order them from Summit when I need them.
