Looks good!

So, you guys must have been jealous of the team effort put into Travis' car last weekend, that you had to have your own M5 work gathering... going to have to set up your game. Welding a few tubes together pales in comparison to the work we pushed out... hiha

Seriously though, I think the relationships built over the years in this hobby are bar none. This is a great example of such.

Some action shots. Safety first, of course. Except for Tim.





Why so serious, Peter?





Laying on cold concrete can be fun, but Peter really needs a lift.



Tim is the Chuck Norris of welding. Face shield? Bah!



They fit, but barely.



Some pics of things none of us will ever have.

Looks like fun, all the garage needs is taller ceiling and a 2 post!

I was duped.
Rob and Tim are such competent welders, I was assigned to the following tasks:

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
Stand between Rob and his MIG and catch ALL stray splatter from reaching Peters car using your body (I later cheated and grabbed some heat shielding but not until my sweatshirt had been blessed with multiple burn holes.)

<o:p></o:p>
Stand between Rob, Tim and anyone else that uses the chop saw or the angle grinder and DO NOT let any sparks get near Peters car.
<o:p></o:p>
Go get us lunch.
<o:p></o:p>
Go to the hardware store and get more extension cords, cutoff wheels and get us safety glasses – but none for you!
<o:p></o:p>
Take Adam with you – his silence is eerie so it’s bothering us.
<o:p></o:p>
At least I got to go Peter’s sons baseball game – in the pouring rain. Actually, Sam is an awesome baseball player and I had a great time watching him play! It’s always more fun when you root for the winning team.
<o:p></o:p>
They even had Peter welding – a complete NOOB – rather than let me pick up a torch. And he did fantastic too!
<o:p></o:p>
It was the most fun I’ve had in a very, very long time. Thanks to Peter for letting me tag along and for his most generous hospitality. A great group of friends.

Rao,
Foot pedal or torch mounted pot on the TIG? Curious if it was a foot pedal how you control it laying on you back under the car? Someone else stepping on it when you tell them to? I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to do some TIG welding laying under the car with only a foot pedal.

I'm assuming the battery was disconnected, anything else to prep for welding on the chassis?

I was using a MIG which is what we used for all of the welds that required actual skill :rofl:

The battery was disconnected.

Well done boys.
