We have tried to TIG weld in our new IFS cross member to the stock frame are having a hard time. The welds keep coming out looking like they are contaminated. Has anybody else had this issue possibly because of the formula of the metal they used in 56? MIG is no problem though. Like the TIG for weld strength, control, and weld appearance. Maybe its going to be MIG welded.
