Good afternoon, well not really, got some of that wet, heavy white spring crap coming down. Only about an inch or 2 but to wet to sweep off, will be looking at this for a day or 2.

Are you still driving school bus Gerry?
How does aluminium exhaust weld ok with a mig Grant?
How`s the weather John? IT`s back to winter here.
Same here Perry, an inch of the wet white junk, just enough that the streets will be messy. More on the way.

Aluminized exhaust tubing should weld nice with a mig. I haven't welded with gas for many years. I have a Dillon oxy/ace unit that welds almost like a mig. I haven't used it for 20yrs, but wont give it up. My mig is so easy to use, you kinda get spoiled. I also gave up my oxy/ace tanks years ago.

You have to spray some high heat paint over your welds after to help prevent them rusting..
Picked up my tires today all mounted and balanced...

Another Sat morning rolls around, a bit closer to spring.
I have a mig but I still kept my oxy/acet tanks for cutting and heating heavy steel.
Great to hear that you tires are in John.
