Welding Tips and Tricks

Here is some pics I have on my phone of a corvette wheel I repaired. It's hard to believe it still was holding air.

Dang.

Do you mind explaining the process: does that have to be machined after welding, or heat treated?

The guy just wanted it fixed so he could make a table out of his wrecked corvette

He was going to finish the rest of the sanding

Ok glad that was brought up, when I first saw this I thought it was your intent to use again on the road, that would ha e made me nervous as hell.

For display, nice job

I've used their services for repairing a Nissan Maxima wheel that was damaged by a pothole and woman driver.
She freaked out when she found out that Nissan wanted $1500 for one replacement tire and wheel.
I found a used tire in excellent condition for $100 and had the wheel rebuilt for $130.
