^You must be hoping for skin cancer, lol

*duffman1278* · 07-11-2009, 02:40 AM

Looks impressive santos!

I'm with atutt haha but you'll have a crazy tan thats for sure, I know too, welding for hours without arm covers, I was burned.

*GSXRJJordan* · 07-11-2009, 05:08 AM

Wait, you guys don't weld naked? I mean sure I wear an auto-dimming mask and some gloves, but who the fuck needs a shirt, pants, or shoes?

Gotta get my tan somehow...

do not adjust your monitors-
There REALLY IS that much flake in my engine bay. Paint came out super glossy/deep/baller.

Tubs weren't 'finished' (read: I suck at body filler I guess) as well as I'd hoped, but they still look baller, and should give me the room in the bay that I need for piping/air filter and the clearance I need. Discuss?

One more... ready for the RB25-engine-bay-enema tomorrow!

thats where you messed up, when i know ill be welding a lot i get sun block 50 and wear my jacket but on small project there isnt much of a need.

but in the pics without a jacket was when i was tacking everything in place when i welded the whole thing i wore my jacket...

thanx guys... hoping to have the car done within a few months and ripping up the track!

sup with that 510 on draglites

fakeshemp44 · 07-11-2009, 03:15 PM

sun burn from welding > sun burn from being outside

I can't tell you how many times i've been in a tight spot welding and couldn't fit a helmet in there, turn head, close eyes, face burn (thumbs up).

but really, you don't want skin caner.

S@nt0s · 07-11-2009, 05:46 PM

what really sucks is flash burn of the eyes... OUCH......

*bardabe* · 07-13-2009, 12:15 PM

^^^ FUCK THAT SHIT IN THE FACE MAN. I;ve had it happen before shit is no fun.

S@nt0s · 07-13-2009, 05:02 PM

feels like blisters in your eyes are popping...

*Andrew Bohan* · 07-13-2009, 05:19 PM

i got it about a month ago.

i wasn't even the one welding. i was doin other shit while luke was welding. i never had any problems before, but i guess i caught a stray glance at just right angle or something.

i woke up at 6:30 the next morning and it felt like i had an eyelash in my eye, so i got up and tried to get it out. then i heard the garbage truck coming and remembered i hadn't put the garbage cans on the street, so i went outside, and then it felt like i was getting sand blasted into my eyes.

fuck that

at least i got some vicodin

S@nt0s · 07-13-2009, 09:21 PM

yea same here that day i wasnt welding just cleaning up some welds on the chassis while another guy was welding... got a flash or something and that night my eye were hurting... but mid way thru my sleep i woke up and BOOM i felt the pops in my eyes....

240love · 07-14-2009, 07:24 PM

my dad went blind a couple times from welding back in the day

Welding is awsome! But when I first started, I forgot about the HF start on the TIG machine I was using, and it was on and I accidently contacted the tungsten to the metal and it burned my eyes!

That was only for no more than .5 seconds but I started seeing everything green lol and my eyes hurted.

*blu808* · 07-14-2009, 11:21 PM

I went blind for 3 days, and my eyes turned into balls of jelly. They were oozing puss, and glued themselves shut. The doctors said it was the worst flash burn they have ever seen. Shit hurt hella bad. They game me some pain meds, but i couldn't find them for 3 days because I was blind.

wow thats bad

fakeshemp44 · 07-15-2009, 08:02 AM

during welding class back in college I set the hand piece of the mig welder I was using on the metal surface I was about to weld, my face was rather close to it, and a single spark flew back into my eye before I nodded my helmet down, thank God for contacts, it melted and embedded into the contact, rather than my eyeball. Last time I ever used a NON auto darkening helmet.

*ManoNegra* · 07-15-2009, 09:04 AM

Deuceforty asked me to make him a set of Brembo adapters
figured it would be a good opportunity to get some Bridgeport experience
we have a lot of 6061 Aluminum lying around the shop
so I made them out of that
would have been a pain to go to all that trouble for just one set so I made 4 extra sets
would have loved to put helicoils in the threads but
we don't work much with metric threads so we don't have the kit in the shop
and it wouldn't have made sense to buy one just for this
excuse the shitty cell phone pic

*GSXRJJordan* · 07-15-2009, 01:21 PM

^^^ Rad Mano!!! What calipers are they for, and what would you have to charge for one of the extra sets?

It feels like someone poured sand in your damn eyes. I had that happen once. Shit sucked. I personally never wear a jacket or arm guards, but I am rarely doing enough welding at one time to really burn myself. The little slag ball burn spots do kinda suck though. I also like the regular ass old style face shields much better then the auto darkening ones. It takes my eyes too long to adjust when the shade darkens so I am basically welding blind for a handful of seconds. The nicer auto darkening ones aren't so bad, but I still like the regular glass better.

*ManoNegra* · 07-15-2009, 02:23 PM

I believe Deuce's got Evo Brembos
he asked me to make them to Krinkov's design
(from the Brembo thread)

but I believe, and someone correct me if I'm wrong,
that they'll work with STi Brembos aswell

sent you a PM aswell

*Jakob* · 07-15-2009, 02:36 PM

actually krinkov made them for sti brembos but rumors said that they should work with evo brembos

dont waste your time with helicoils. Timeserts are where its at.

Most people are poor and helicoil kits are expensive enough
