Still gotta get gas for it and wire up an outlet.
You can now buy filled tanks of argon and have them shipped right to you. I've been looking for used deals but every one I've found locally wants MORE than you can buy new and have shipped to you!

Kick ass. That looks like a big unit. I bought a TIG a while back but have not taken the time to play with it!

It's not too bad. About the same envelope at my 135 mig, just about twice the height.

I was shopping for an ac/dc tig + mig combo, but to get ac capabilities the cost skyrockets. May as well buy 2 separate machines at that point.

I really want the ability to modify aluminum stuff. Radiators, this fuel cell at some point, turbo piping/intercoolers, etc.. The only way to do is to get after it!

Slow going, but still choochin along. I only get a couple hours after work here and there lately. Should have done this over the winter when I had nothing but time lol.. it was a cold freakkn winter though.

I do not like cutting sheetmetal in general, I'm not good with sheetmetal. This turned out decent enough.

This was just a proof of concept, going to change a couple things. Also going to make a tpu bushing that goes inside of this, along with a top plate to secure it in place. I need to get 3x -6 hoses and the the tank electrical through here. I definitely went overboard with the screws, I won't have that many in the final.
