With my 914 free of rust, I had to find some other way to get my daily dose of tetanus. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Joking aside, about half a year ago I was lucky enough to be recruited for an on-campus organization that is building a vehicle from the ground up and threw myself into the manual machining and manufacturing rabbit hole.

The car will be... Electric. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I know, I know, all I will say is there is a reason I am in the 'mechanical' subsystem and not 'high voltage'.

Such an amazing experience so far and I have even more respect than I already did for the people here on the world doing fab work on 914s.

And oh man did I think I was getting good at TIG welding until I had to go upside down under the car.

P.S. Extra sunscreen was applied during the round of welding pictured - I use a real mask when space allows for it, and we will eventually powder coat the chassis to prevent 914 levels of iron oxide invasions.

@NotLance NICE! Great to see you young folks getting into fabrication. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Gives me hope for the future.
And your welds are looking really good, too. Keep the info coming - I'd like to see this as it progresses.
