You're smart , doing wot you like.

[@mmr3657]

great video. any advice for trying to make sure its all straight if you dont have a frame jig? like where you could take measurements from to make sure youre on the money?

[@benjeffweldingandfabricati251]

This kit would be pretty difficult to do with out some kind of fixture since it’s just loose tubes. There’s plenty of pre-welded hardtail kits where if you’re careful you can simple use the trans plate to line it all up, digital angle gauge, plumb bobs and rulers for the rest.

I like your advice about using both MIG and TIG. I've known some "TIG snobs" who wouldn't hear of using MIG cuz it was beneath them somehow. WTF

[@briancroneberger9243]

TIG snob here, I preach tig over everything for sheet metal and frame work because it creates a more ductile weld. Its all also much more obvious that youre getting good penetration as opposed to "spitting" metal at a casting, only for it to fail.

[@yinyanglovebomb]

What amperage did you use?

[@benjeffweldingandfabricati251]

Usually stick to the 1 amp per .001” for tube wall thickness and is pretty close.

Nice Ben, except for the 'smoking' part!!!

[@benjeffweldingandfabricati251]

Haha sorry
