Maybe you can give me a bit of technical advice. I have a mig welder that I bought used. It's a 110v unit 115A unit. I have no gas with it, only flux core wire. Can I use the flux core wire or do I have to have gas? How much is a small bottle and how long will it last (approx)?

Also, what settings do I set my welder to? I tried welding a couple of small pieces of sheet metal together and it justy burnt a hole through, even though it was set on low heat, could I have the feed speed too slow?

Thanks,
Ian

practice practice and more practice buy lots of scrap and mess with the settings.o and body work with flux core is none to good.

If you combine this hood with a Holden intake (N/A only), a useful ram air setup probably could be fabricated.

hood is primed an blocked it today but didnt get it on the car..

Subed, wonder if any one has done this on a 97-03.

Well its half ass painted just to get it on the car.. Gonna get it vinyl wrapped this week some time but im not sure on what exactly i want.. Gloss or flat black or what i really wanna do is carbon wrap.. any other thoughts.? wood grain?

looks nice man! 2 paint booths? one down draft and one side draft? id say paint it with your car of CF wrap the hood and spoiler

Ya we have two booths.. the other one mainly for priming of side job ****.. Yah i was defiantly thinking of doing the spoiler too.

yea i think that would look good if not just paint it the same color as your car

Absolutely awesome hood... and don't worry, sometimes FORM beats FUNCTION!
