Default Dave's Build Thread Pics added pg2 :D

Well guys, my brand spanking welder arrived today, along with an auto darkening mask and pair of gauntlets.

I'm hiring my lockup friday morning and i've got a generator arriving friday afternoon.

I'm half way through sorting the gear for my chassis to get going.

And finally to get me started, i've got all my donor parts getting delivered on friday for £265 which doesn't seem like a bad price.

Anyway, I'll keep this thread updated with my progress and any questions i come accross along the way.

Wish me luck with my build Just need to let my bank balance recover from the blast now haha

Dave.

Dave,

Great to hear your build is making some good headway.

I will pop back with anticipation and have a read soon.

Good luck.

Cheers Ginge

Hi dave, well done hope it goes ok, Just a thought is the generator for use with the welder, if so you will probably need quite a powerful one as welders takes some juice. I only had a 2.5kv (2500watts) and I couldn't get anything to work on it. You may need something like 5.5 to 7.5kv, there is a way to work it out by checking the welder power usage but not sure what formulea to use. Maybe someone here on forum may know.

Good to see you getting on David and put some pics up as you progress.

When this crappy weather clears up will probably have a blast out and come and visit.

Anyone heard from HandyAndy recently?? I've sent him a few PMs about steel, but he doesn't seem to be around. Hope he's ok and just busy.

HandyAndy advertises his email address in his sig: andyroadster@yahoo.co.uk
Better than PM as it does not overfill.
