Thanks! Most of the parts I build are for flight, so that's common. It's nice to find folks who can point that out. Many years of practice (and a few grey hairs, lol) to not sweat class A NDT.
This is a piece of art work! I would throw my wife's flower arrangement off the dining room table and use this as a centerpiece...

My latest roll cage. So much time goes into fitting each and every piece. I will say, proper fitment ensures the best weld (still working on that part haha). I apologize for the sideways pictures. I guess they are like that if I take a picture with my phone tilted... Even though they are the right way on my phone

Looks good. Is this Mustang going to be a drift car? I've never seen curved top bars like that before.

Yes this car will be a drift car. I build most of my drift cages like FIA cages though. I don't think FD cages are sturdy enough.

I would assume you have a radius bender as well as a traditional bender?

Yes I have a tubing roller along with a normal tubing bender. This is my first cage using the roller this much. It certainly adds allot to the style of the cage and is really nice for roof bars in cages. It was not cheap but certainly a worth while investment.

How is 316 to weld? Much different then 304? Never done any 316. In my line of work I will likely never use it, 304 and 321 are all us car guys really use.
Yeah it's all back purged, fit perfectly flat and welded with no filler full penetration.motox wrote:fusion weld?
if not what filler did you use?

316 welds very similar to all of those, I've used 321 and 347 filler with headers in the past. The cage looks good, I'll have to dig up some pics from my 25.5 SFI chassis I put in my 91 Mustang GT. Funny I look at those welds now and say man I can do better.AFR_Autoworks wrote:How is 316 to weld? Much different then 304? Never done any 316.

With food stuff it is a lot of 316L and 304.

321 is so fucking expensive though.Rick_H wrote:316 welds very similar to all of those, I've used 321 and 347 filler with headers in the past.
