    Little welding tips! Keep the heat slightly low, and keep a continuous flow all the way around your seam. Moving at a medium rate of speed, using a backward and foward motion.

      Yes! Many welders hate vertical down, but when mig welding it is great for thin material and when the weld isn't on a critical structural part. The beads are fast, easy, and look great. Tig is easiest in the flat position. Cletus should have welded the steel turbo mount with tig since steel is more forgiving. It is good practice since aluminum is much more temperamental.

    Many things on Leroy can be switched to carbon fiber, like the dash, any metal or plastic panels of any sort, etc. Metal panels that maybe can’t be switched to carbon fiber could be switched to titanium or aluminum from steel. You can swap out the steel bolts that don’t need to stay steel to titanium, and in cases where little to no pressure is applied, aluminum. You can use lightweight lug nuts. I do RC racing, and weight reduction is super important in that.
