Very inspirational thread to say the absolute least. The attention to detail and perfection displayed is out of this world. The fact that you've been doing it for a couple years now also makes me feel better about the turtle pace of my ka-t built lol.

It's been put on the back burner the last year mostly due to money.

Did you know how to weld before this build, or youre that good just from this project? Thanks for the inspirational boost, good luck on the rest bro

Thank you very much. I plan on upgrade the wheels after everything else is complete. I actually really like the wheels, so no a rush. As far as the other questions ill have Daniel answer, he's the mad man behind the fab work.

Thank you. Detail is everything for us. If it wasn't what we wanted 100% it would get re-done. It's definitely hard to stay positive about it when it's been three project, with a year of down time.

Thanks for the kind words guy's. This thread has been dead for a while and needs some updates. I hope to have something for you all in the upcoming months.

This car was built off the new Miller Matic 211 Autoset MVP. I have welded up to 7/8" multi pass with it and it will burn through 1/4" pretty easy. I love it best welder I have ever owned. I learned how to weld early 1998 and been welding since. Went to multiple schools for welding and fabrication. But with the miller 211 autoset anyone can do it with a small crash course. The owner of the LS6 BMW b3 build im doing bought one after using mine and he has turned into a pretty good mig welder.
