Some time today, picked up this smaller torch with a flex head ( all yours reg )


It is a lot easier to hold after I get past the small shock from shortsleves!!! And slowly getting the hang of tiggin




And some of the progress on upper deck

Awesome! I need to take my own advice and buy one of those flex heads for my 150a torch. It looks like the cup is shorter on that one as well? What brand is it? I try to buy stuff locally but it can be a joke. Either pay way too much and get it or find a reasonable price but they won't order it until they place a massive order in 6 weeks or whatever. Now that I am more current with online shopping I guess I should take a look.lol It's kinda cool to finally see someone else welding aluminum body parts together! Keep the updates coming!

Obviously I'm not to experienced in welding but I picked it up off eBay. Had the correct dinse connector and quick connect gas fitting. Was a plug-n-play item. I purchased separate gas lense collets/cups for it. A friend told me a gas lense has better gas coverage and easier to use by having ability to extend electrode a bit farther out. Anything to help me with the eye hand control and being able to see what I'm doing better. It's a wp9 torch and using 13n collets/lense.

Haha, just jumped back over here from eBanger. Stuff is cheap on there compared to local. Going to hit "buy" on a few things. Thanks for the kick in the azz.

Great job on building this truck, and those tires you made for it are a perfect fit, they really add to the scale look!!!

Thanks!! Boy do I wish I had access to a water jet!! Every time I go to your builds I keep thing of my Christmas list for next year but Santa already told me a waterjet doesn't fit in his sled!! Lol!! Hey great build you are doing on that shovel!! So far most of what I had in my head has been working for this build. Only problem I see now is getting the double acting telescopic cylinders built and working.
