Dual stacks!!

That looks like it came new that way.
You did a awesome job.

 

Yes I have seen pictures of his work and he also does great work.

Yessir!

These stacks are mostly supported from the bottom, as far as weight is concerned. So on top, I used fender washers. There's three bolts, and it's set up to go in a curve, so it's strong. I can't currently weld aluminum, so I couldn't weld in any backing. I did think about making a plate to go back there, but it's not smooth. There's some raised channels. The front bolt goes through several sections of aluminum that ends up being almost a quarter inch thick.

 

Your overqualified to drive…… you should sell your fabrication skills…..

 

Great job overall, especially the welding, That is a good weld. I'm a Journeyman welder, a has been . Worked with some UA Welders. I do know a great weld when I see one.
Also, that Rig, they are one tough piece of equipment. Can't wear them out if you keep them maintained.

 

I went ahead and updated my generator box. Next step is a mounted fuel tank, and a kit that adds a fuel pump to the generator.

Some of the welds are pretty ugly. My suggestion is to ignore them.



Fan was sagging on the provided clips, so I refastened it with bolts and got it centered back on the hole.

 

Show off!
As always, great job. As several have said, if trucking doesn't make it, your skills as a mechanic/fabricater will get you through anything.

 

It was really hard to pull the trigger on $1,500 or so worth of TIG equipment for a small stainless project. Now I regret taking so long to finally do it. Really expands your options, especially working with thin pieces. I haven't done any aluminum with mine yet, just stainless. It ain't rocket surgery, but does take some practice to get the hang of it. Finished product quality improvement is substantial.

 

The beauty of the expenses though is that these things open doors for generating revenue after we're all too old to drive anymore.

 

I snuck onto your property last night and reconfigured your tractor's exhaust pipes to a weed burner setup.

No need to thank me.
