Are you guys welding that with a gasless mig or some thing... Looks like a harbor freight 90 amp 110v junkier.. If you are using that I suggest you stop and get a real welder or this will prob happen

re: welder
actually its a clarke 125 amp mig it just has flux core in it right now, have a different welder to weld cage, using the clarke to tack everthing. have a snap on 140 amp mighty mig with tank to finish everything up. Besides according to lincoln and miller both say you can get better penetration with flux core figured it would be good to tack and do some welding on the chassis

re big tire for 3000
we didn't plan to do the car this way. its a t-top car and had some rot in the floor, well it was alot worse then we thought. The whole drivers side was gone and thanks to the burnout(s) we did when we first got the car the drivers side rocker was cracked all the way around. And really we don't have alot of money in this car, less than two grand which includes purchasing the car and chassis, two fe engines and a 9"inch rear. we sold the old drive train so we are doin pretty good keepin the cost down thankx for everyone encouriging words:smokin:

re what is FE
FE's are a group of ford engine(FE=Ford engine or ford edsel) made from 1958 -1976. INcludes 330, 352, 390, 406, 427 and 428 cu in engines. loosely based on the y-block engines of the fifties. They are damn near bullit proof. capable of six hundred plus hp on a stock block. Weight wise they fall between the 302's and 460's 100# heavier than a 302 but about 100# lighter than a460. aftermarket has grown greatly in the last 5 yrs so cost has come way down. one of the mgazines biult a428 FE and a 427 windsor the fe cost less and had about 15 mor hp and about twenty more ftlbs of torque.
