Nope, no way in hell!

awesome welding. curious what setup you running?

Thanks! It's a Hobart Handler 187 with C25 gas and high quality .030 ER70S-6 solid core wire. The gas and wire come from Praxair, machine from TSC. I love it so far, great investment just can't believe I went without so long. It will produce much smoother welds, but I was making sure I got good penetration on the legs by weaving the puddle a bit.

Got the MII crossmember painted and the parts all cleaned and prepped for paint, I'll have it all assembled soon. So I went on another parts spree today and ordered the underfloor brake booster/master, Cragar Delux 69 wheels, Wheel Vintique spider caps, and Diamond Back 2 3/4" white walls in 205/75/15 (27" tall).

I'd better let my wallet cool off a bit now
