Re: Newest overflow tank
Thanks Kym. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to sell the welder and quit. It seems like thicker material welds a bit better. This is .078 5052 with 5356 filler. The mounting tabs are thicker yet. John.

Re: What the hell were you thinking?
Some great pictures. I especially like the trailer hitch on the pickup towing that heavy flatbed. John.

Re: Special thanks to Jody and the recent tig videos
Thought I already attached picture in above post. I must give credit where credit is due. Without the videos and the forum, improvement would be at a much slower pace! Thanks again.

Special thanks to Jody and the recent tig videos
I have been watching the recent tig videos with Roy and Jody tig welding some aluminum boxes and I think it is finally paying off. Lap joints have always been very difficult for me and without these awesome videos and arc shots I would not be where I am at right now with the tig process. Just wanted...

Re: bending aluminum for a fuel cell?
Type in fuel cell at Jegs or Summit Racing and you'll come up with both aluminum and steel cans with bladders. Rci makes both but still calls them fuel cells. Most of my drag racing buddies all have aluminum boxes with fuel in them. I guess there is a lot of people misusing the term.

Re: bending aluminum for a fuel cell?
Is it structurally okay to just weld all six pieces if you don't mind the extra labor time? Is the rumor true about welds crack easier?

Re: bending aluminum for a fuel cell?
Are people bending so they don't have to weld as much or is there another reason as well such as welds cracking easier possibly?
