What exactly do you do with the crayons? Was that just for marking? Or are you putting that on the weld to shield it during cooling? I have the TIG covered, I have a Miller Sychrowave 250.

The crayons arent actually crayons.. they are heat markers... they will melt at a certain temp. That way you know when you have heated it enough.

Looks like fun, do you know what tranny/rear end you are going to use? 2speed glide and a ford 9?

Fun looking project, good luck once again getting it going.
I honestly wouldn't have attacked the big dogs with your dreams and aspirations while only owning a partially caged Evo, but that is just me. I hope you can contend on that level, it would be really cool to see a local, self-sponsered vehicle to pull it off.

Just curious though. How large is your guy's shop down there?

It is definately something to kill boredom. And the only people I really made fun of was AMS.. I defended Buschur and I gotta say I like the guy. And hey, racing is a competition after all :)

Just enough for 4 cars to be worked on reasonably... you could probably squeeze 7 or so if you really wanted but you couldnt really work on them at all. More of a big garage then a shop really :) Its cheap rent and is big enough for our personal cars so it works.

Sweet deal. Let me know if you need anything.

If you haven't shopped around the turbo manufacturers or big retailers yet, I'd bet you could get a turbo sponsored with the promise of some magazine coverage and attend some big races. Building something that nobody else is currently doing attracts sponsors. You might get stuck with some shitbag like Slowboy, or you might actually get some good sponsorship, it's worth a shot. :nod:

Shit, we shoulda asked for magazine coverage before this thread went up here. :spin: LOL

Steve's got a point though, seems to be the way to go is trade coverage for products vs cash, even if you get you hands on some product you don't always use, sell it for some funds to use on other racing expenses.
