Kyle, you aren't old enough to remember a TV program called the Six Million Dollar Man ( 1974 to 1978). The opening lines of the show came to mind when I saw this.

Gentlemen we can rebuild him 
We have the technology 
We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic man
Steve Austin will be that man 
Better than he was before 
Better, Stronger, Faster

How many horsepowers will that add?   :auto-layrubber:  Or was design #1 like a capacitor keeping extra boost energy on tap?  :D

This past weekend I ran my towns local tractor parade with it. I was asked lots of questions about it and had a lot of interest in it by all ages.

It seems to me, you did it Wig welded? 

How was your experiences in Stainless steel welding after that?

Found it hard or was it more simple in compare to Aluminum WIG welding?

Looks pretty good!

That is all mig welded with 308 wire. It takes a lot of heat and I didn't use the tri blend of gas on it so harder yet. Now I have a tig welder for next time I weld stainless. Aluminum is much harder to weld because of spool gun use.

Ah ok, 

i thought you did it Wig welding.

 

i try WIG last time on Aluminum, in my experience i found it's more complicated than Mig,

but the result looks massive better.

So Wig just needs more training to get clean seam.

 

Thanks for your info.

The original plan was to tig it but the rods didn't show up in time for me. So that will be next time.

Stefan, I believe there may be a translation barrier here...

 

TIG for us is Tungsten Inert Gas, it has a hand held torch with the shielding gas and an electrode, with hand held filler rod.

 

MIG is Metal Inert Gas, it has the hand held gun with wire feed filler, sometimes also with flux core (shielded and gasless) wire.

 

what is WIG, I’m assuming that’s our TIG?

I finally got a chance to play with my tig welder and make my exhaust. 2.5" 304 stainless with header wrap on it for heat. Lots of stuff to try snaking 2.5" pipe around and out of the way.
