Second time welding. Fabricator bailed on me yesterday to do the subframe so I bought a tubing bender and broke out my harbor freight MIG. No gas set up, just flux at the moment.
Messy welds to say the least but most looked good and strong.
Ground down and slipped a ring over the welds to reinforce them. Punched a big ass hole in it with the wire.
Thinking cutting it and slipping billet rod the ID of the steel tube and fill welding it. What are your thoughts?
Yes it might be a good idea to get a proper welder in this structural job but is be really tickled to do it myself. Good thing is the bottom mounts support the majority of weight.
Check it out.
