I'm a little late to this build, but it is majestic af. amazing work and quality! , and the engine stands were just genius, if you dont mind me asking what kind of welder are you using?
thanks
For mild steel it's just a canadian tire Lincoln MigPak 140. Not beefy enough for cage work. For tig i have an Everlast 200DX-D

The S13 should be more suited to slides Quinn. That car might be out the door before winter.

Hey if you dont mind me asking, how did you get all undercoating out from under the car.
IF it was a wire wheel, did you use the twisted style?
once you got it off, i assume you were down to bare metal, what layers of paint did you apply to protect from rust? just tremclad?

clays Instagram is @****yeahsexyasians
this is definitely a grip car, built for a specific class too.
Yeah just the twisted tufts wire wheel and straight tremclad on top. The car won't see winters or much time on the road so while rustproofing was on the radar I did not go over and above.

Looks great Clay, some solid hours went into this one and it really shows.
Whats the deal with the front defrost, would be weird looking through it all the time.
Very nice!
