Nice work, you weld for a living? sure looks like it.




thanks but I´m not a welder, I´m a engine builder so I hired a welder and so far we have 56 hours working on the frame.





Can you post a video of the welder in action. I'd sure like to watch him pour out some of those welds. Very Nice work!

It's been 5 weeks since I started. The first 3 weeks was working 10 hours a day, 5 days a week and the last two weeks on and off. I might need two more weeks to get it running and ready for testing.

I just caught this thread....I had never seen it before.

Well, I'm sorry to say that my friend Carlos Bustamante passed away yesterday after taking his car to the track for the first time (the one featured in this thread).

He layed a 9,83 with his newly built car and achieved his goal of getting in the 9s.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UIHv12OTtI

Later that day after unloading his car at home and having some cofee, his heart decided to stop beating at 1 am.

Funeral services will be held today.

RIP Carlos.
