Re: Aluminum Welding Q's.... on my boat

Here's another reason to DIY! I just picked up an LS1 oil pan from a marine shop that welded up a broken corner for me...for a cool $245!!! ($75/hr shop rate x 3 hours plus tax) and he didn't even machine the mating surface. Ouch! I could have bought a new one for that. They forgot to call me with an estimate so asked them to ease the pain a bit, paid $150 cash but man what a gold mine!
