Kramer1981 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Whats wrong with flux core welding exactly? I'll tell you the biggest problems is people not knowing what they are talking about when they refer to it lol. Dual shield flux core is FAR superior to standard mig and is used for shop fab and structural construction all over. some wire is even seismic rated to withstand earthquakes or thermal rated to withstand incredible temps, talking beyond standard xray quality. What gives flux core a bad name are all the back yard wana be's that buy a 20 dollar welder and dont have a clue how to use it. This thread tells me a lot of people miss the point too lol. Fabrication fail, that means a failed result of poor design, construction and use of tools. If someone wants to spend hours fabricating their own stuff instead of buying off the shelf thats their prerogative. Same if they want to slam their ride and go pure form over function. HOW they do it is the point of this thread. Be it a 20 dollar flux core or a 10,000 dollar tig the result can either be good or bad and that is what we're are talking about here. You are completely correct, flux core is perfectly fine if correctly executed, problem is cheapskates and idiots buy them without knowing welding and fab, metallurgy, or basic design. I make my own parts sometimes, but then again I will not weld together 30 pieces of rusty pipe cut at sharp miters instead of spending the few bucks to get a proper piece of structural or exhaust tubing professionally bent. i dont have the equipment or skills and Im ok with that. In all fairness, 99% of the photos in this thread scare me to death thinking these vehicles could be on the road, and alot of it is not if it failed, but when. The fancy chevy truck only shows that high dollar vehicles are not immune to poor decisions. Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Always wear a welding mask. Me and a friend would make lowrider bikes a while back and when welding on a frame he would just close his eyes. He got sun burnt eye lids. Then he bought a nice self shading mask Quote Link to comment

VW again Another S10 BMW rat rod WTF? And this fool should be smacked around for ruining this Z... Then there is this gay rice trend with the rusted hood Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Its far from a "rice" trend. Domestics started it a long time ago. It got popular recently with bimmers and hen vw's. Along with stupid roof racks and assholes who have bikes on their cars 24/7. 2 Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hah I saw a bug today with TWO roof racks AND a rakc on the hood, or trunk. Whichever is on the back. Quote Link to comment
