Re: 54 Hudson coupe
Top job on the headers.
I was thinking of making my own until my brother gave me a set, now I just have to fix them up where they warped due to welding.
Keep up the good work, and the posts.

Re: 54 Hudson coupe
Progress has slowed a little bit, but I’m working on the last tube now. I found a reasonably priced tig welder on Craigslist. I pick it up tomorrow. Hopefully I can catch on to this welding process quickly.

Re: 54 Hudson coupe
If you have done oxy welding before, you will find tig similar.
Biggest tip I can give is match the filler rod and tungsten to the metal thickness where you can.
I use a lot of mig wire as a filler rod, it is the same type and harness, when it matches the panel thickness.
For tungstens I always use Lanthanated and works perfectly on stainless as well.

Kind of like the dash of the Missus new car, my ass puckers just looking at all them buttons and switches with meaningless squiggles
If it has tits or wheels, you can expect trouble.
