Slp hood on car may-5-12



Re: Slp hood UPDATE MAY-2-12

clean work man looks great, as for the functional or not, who cares looks great either way.
 


Re: Slp hood update feb-7-12

Looks great.

Maybe you can give me a bit of technical advice. I have a mig welder that I bought used. It's a 110v unit 115A unit. I have no gas with it, only flux core wire. Can I use the flux core wire or do I have to have gas? How much is a small bottle and how long will it last (approx)?

Also, what settings do I set my welder to? I tried welding a couple of small pieces of sheet metal together and it justy burnt a hole through, even though it was set on low heat, could I have the feed speed too slow?

Thanks,
Ian

practice practice and more practice buy lots of scrap and mess with the settings.o and body work with flux core is none to good.

If you combine this hood with a Holden intake (N/A only), a useful ram air setup probably could be fabricated.
