I rode around town today looking for good places to take pictures. It was a nice overcast yet sunny day, great for outdoor photography, so here's some new pics of an old pile:







At the Texas Capitol:

Did you weld with gas or tig, and did you do it or have it done? I've been shopping welders lately.

wire-feed 110v MIG, flux-core wire. Did it meself. I just picked up an oxy-ace torch and a few tips. I need to get some bottles, regs, and hoses before I'm up and running with a gas welding rig, but I also plan on picking up some MIG gas and true MIG wire. Flux core = shit. My welder is from Home Despot and cost about $450-500.

Sweat,

Are those highway pegs up near the top of the headers?
