I have found out 2 good sources for welding and metal working information for those of you out there who do their own welding. Since 914's are always in need of metal working of some sort, check these sites out.
They are as follows. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) 1)- Metal Shapers Assoc. www.allshops.org 2)- TM Technologies www.tinmantech.com They have a lot of useful info, FAQ's, weblinks, etc for those of us who like to do our own welding. You can use them as sources for buying welding equipment too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) If reading really floats your boat, well try the following book which can be bought at Barnes and Noble or thru the webiste of motorbooks.com which is up in Wisc. .

Yeah might have to take a trip to Barnes and Noble. I ordered a dvd from ebay on welding it should be here soon. I definetly want to learn more before I go and buy the equipment though. But I am hoping to practice making parts for the ricer cars in my neighborhood before I attempt to molest a 914-6.
You know I would also really like to learn brazing. Don't see it mentioned much with cars though. But I guess the viper was made by brazing together 2 extra cyclinders. How well would brazing work with sheet metal work? It would look much nice I would think. |
