Ryan Family 510 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Let us know about that welding class. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. My local college also has collision repair coursesw. If they ever offer them at night I may sign myself and the boys up. 1 Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Holy shit, what is that? Pretty sure was a mouse/rat nest. There were little acorn shells everywhere. Was not fun to clean. Let us know about that welding class. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. My local college also has collision repair coursesw. If they ever offer them at night I may sign myself and the boys up. Will do. First class we didn't weld. It was more of an introductory class. Tomorrow we light the torches! It'll be well worth it. I've taken a few of these classes. Sweet! Quote Link to comment

Class always flies by. looking good you have good penetration just work on making steady consistent beads with those welds your car will stay together with no problems I don't remember ever doing welds without filler in my high school welding class 1 Quote Link to comment
