B-Pillar Reproduction Panels (1 Viewer)

I'm 1000% stoked right now, waiting for the LWS to deliver all my SMALL TIG consumables. I laughed my A$$ off Saturday... I went to my old combo rig box to pull all my TIG gear out and the smallest torch I had was a 26 series and it had a #12 cup and gas lens on it with 5/32" tungsten..... I guess the last time I used it I was welding on 1.250" wall cold service pipe, best I can remember.

Need to get everything set up and get my hand back into it, but can't wait!

Effin hell I wish I lived closer....need to learn this skill....though your welds are art work...mine would at best look like special needs artwork. Can't wait to see these bad boys in person.

+1 ppl ask me about the bumpers and always comment on the welds.

I know it seems crazy, but there are guys out there that make my welds look like dog crap. I'm fortunate to still have good dexterity in my arthritic 44 year old hands. I tried to go to a smaller squirt gun to help with the hands, but just don't have the patience to make myself get use to the little pea shooter.. HA!

All you guys are welcome at the shop for a little welding lesson. Seems I do this with almost everyone that comes to pick up orders. KINDA FUN!!

No, I though about it and want them as OEM looking as possible. People know where they came from... HA!

Shop called and said the first piece is cut and bent. They are mailing it out to me today. I will QC and TIG it out to make sure I like everything and then they will go to production.

Ok guys,

First article prototype pieces are here. I'll try and get these welded out this weekend, but probably next week.

They fit perfect on the B-pillar right now. The 3D scan is awesome.

Just a teaser and an update for all participants.

Thanks,

Jason
