Thanks for tuning in today guys. Hope you were able to learn something today and maybe get some motivation to get out and work on your project. Happy Wednesday!

May have missed a clip at the end sir!! But great video I’ve watched the whole series and always wondered the differences of the two welding methods

[@KalvinMalli]

@@darianmunoz9790 bro you’re the only person to say something. So much of the video is missing 🥲

[@kdee3492]

All these new videos recently...I didn't know I had a birthday but I don't complain.

[@nicsalazar4410]

Man you treating us special now with all these uploads ☺️

[@rorybrennen4083]

This is how kalvin started! Appreciate the new vids bro!🎉🎉❤

[@tylerwalsh4254]

Keep up the fabrication content, short small jobs start to finish.

[@HydroTWD]

Thank you! I have to fix the spare tire well on my 240 when i go on vacation at the end of the month. This is exactly what i needed.

[@BeeSoe1]

Great idea! I need to do some of this soon

[@Charg3boy]

def man add this to your videos lineup hows to's feel more connected than just building the car and just showing us end results

[@Riekertvv]

Love it!!! Need to start doing hands on with my mig... bought it more than 2 years ago... and have never used it :/

[@Jimmy0324]

Very informative video and particularly good timing for myself as I'll be attempting to learn how to weld on my R32 sedan soon. I would be interested to see your take on a plug welding video too as that's specifically what I will be doing.

[@KalvinMalli]

Coming up soon 😎

[@Hakiri27]

i got repair a rust hole in my car this is perfect timing!

[@nikolaiylimys5250]

This is just so funny. I have almost the EXACT same setup but my tig is kemppi. Even the copper tube tool looks exactly the same 😂😂

[@KalvinMalli]

😂💯

[@JrgProductionsRSA]

Ayy a new video, perfect timing :)

[@jayryia]

I have slightly off topic noob questions that perhaps you could show in a future video: Now say for example where a Lancer wants to go AWD and you drill out your FWD floor and the AWD floor from the donor car, there would pretty much be holes in both areas you're wanting to weld in place. How would the "spot welds" be able to be done if they are holes in the two joining pieces instead of one having a solid base? And how could it be done that it wouldn't be a compromise to rigidity/ oxidation long term where that oxidation could be a fail point? And lastly, Could that be done with Tig? I know people mainly use Mig and maybe some with stick.

[@dhrida5518]

Awesome job! The holes when welding usually happens in the gaps, so if there is a smaller gap it's less prone to open a hole, also on the MIG it seems like you have to get the tungsten too close to the piece when welding, that might be because the angle of the tungsten is too short, if it's more steep you don't need to be that close, just in case you don't know, sometimes it's the small detail that make the whole difference, I am no expert but I learn from what others have to say, great content btw!

[@adamcz3183]

Cool video, I find the welding stuff interesting.

[@KalvinMalli]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Car going be valued at 100k+

[@tabryis]

Yaaaay

[@jacobrohlinger9038]

Can you make a video on how you do spot welds? Replacing the radiator support in my 240 and don’t want to ruin it lmao

[@KalvinMalli]

Definitely can!

[@jacobrohlinger9038]

@@KalvinMalli awesome thanks!

[@gsxMac24]

Just bought my first welder, I know you're using a primeweld TiG I just bought their 180 MiG machine. Are you using 110 or 220 to MiG with?

[@deciplesteve]

Do you have any tips for keeping fine point sharpies working? I tend to buy a ton of them because they never seem to last beyond a few jobs. Tip still looks saturated in ink, but nothing comes out.

[@KalvinMalli]

Yeah you just gotta try to clean up any oils off the surface. They can be a pain without a doubt. I usually only use them to write on tape.

[@joaovilasboas4002]

Im loving the consistancy of the videos at the moment thank you🫶

[@darianmunoz9790]

Yo yo yo

[@AdamChase87]

Anybody have any input on flux core for beginners. Or should I just learn with MIG?

[@vassaf1]

What grit did u use on the DA?

[@KalvinMalli]

Da was a dull 40 grit👍🏽

[@thomasnunn7500]

It would be cool if kalvin started working with @evanshanks when he moves back to texas
