  1. hot iron were in pa are you its a big place if your on the east side there at least 2 spring shops in jersey i know of there mercer springs in trenton and r&h in wall across from wall stadium in my opion if your really going to race this vehicale i my self would let the pros doit cause as i'm almost 40 now and have learned to value my life more now if i was 17 again well lets just say im no sure how i'm alive now

  2. i think it is i would go with the 100 and make plate that swings over the hole to cut it back theres some pics on the site from others that have made them my blower really is to much i can melt a rr spike in 5 min on full blast on the blower so i just cover the blower opening some to cut back cfm

  3. i used to work for a company that made race car parts and we used 304 stainless for the tail pipes and you could polish it and it would stay that way the rest were 403 stalless and that would oxidize or get this rusty like coating on it i think 304 is food grade now i don't know if there is a way to tell that would be cost afective

  4. my friend has one and i know he has a 110v hobart mig in his shop that he uses and so fare no problems with welding with that i do know that he had to give up running his race boats cause of the msd ignition system would set his defibulator off so if you or your friends have racecars or any type of race engines beware that could set it off . he told me when it went of it was like geting shocked from a 220 buzbox so if you try any welding make sure some one is close for the first time in case you need them

  5. well i look at it like it probably started with a fire and 2 rocks then came a hammer of some sorts a piece of metal as an anvil as things progresed hey came up with a power hammer so on and soforth i'm sure if they had a welder 150 years ago a smith would have used it i have seen smithys have metal working machines theres pics here of hofi's shop with a lathe there and cutting torches and stuff in my real opinion if you are happy with what you are doing thats all that matters

  6. well theres a sit on the web called backyard metal casting and he made a crucible furnace with a flue pipe and used it for more that a year so i beleave its posiable now i have had people tell me it wouldn't work but he has pics of it on the site and it was used. the only real differance from a crucible furnace is it would be vertical verse forge would lay horizonal to make the hole use a masonary hole saw should cut throgh it
