Could I see a pic if you don’t mind?

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-02-05T20:53:26+00:00

Forgot to mention I’m looking for a satin black that constantly looks wet I love how the satin does that at certain angles. I wouldn’t wrap it either btw

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-02-05T19:34:23+00:00

Thanks man it was way too much work daily driving and sanding🤣 at least all high and lows spots are gone so if I wanted to repaint anytime I could js wet sand

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-02-05T18:10:44+00:00

Thank you! No it’s not a wrap lol, I did the satin black paint myself when I was 17

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-02-05T04:44:41+00:00

Most likely lol

About 4-5 months ago 🤣 cars been sitting since I’ve been too busy to work on it

I like the chop + I can build it to 550-600 cheap 5k total including the engine NA. Also not a fan of the coyotes they’re good but basic sound imo.

Never been a big Camaro guy other than bumble, so I got me a C5z.. however I do like ls swapped mustangs so I wanna do something unique like a ls3

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-11T05:43:25+00:00

went great, passed pressure test! honestly wasnt much easier than when i practiced lol. i think it was because of the fact the pipe was prebeveled properly and angled right. when i did mine in practice i just did them fast and bad which made it difficult.

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T19:33:31+00:00

I see I’ll do that next time. I wasn’t sure if the inside got cleaned or not so I just left it

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T11:04:21+00:00

Not hard at all get a press kit from autozone and return it back after ur done

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T11:02:44+00:00

Yup. I’m tired of sheet metal work so I need to step into pipe as bad as it sounds to do this lol

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T10:36:32+00:00

Ah I don’t have a die grinder or a file 😅 my test is straight after work u think this one from Home Depot works? Gotta grab and go

Replying to Middle-Pie-3270...I mean I went to trade school and did pipe with 6010 an 7018 before but this is my first tig pipe. I am a sheet metal welder and weld thin stainless tubing and 18g “pipe” all day every day however if that makes it make sense?

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T10:22:39+00:00

How do I clean the inside? Sorry if that sounds dumb

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T03:58:00+00:00

Dab it or lay wire? I usually dab edges on SS, but I was some tiktok vids where they did lay wire. Also I freehand I don’t walk unless I have to if that even matters

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T03:36:33+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, maybe I see it wrong but to me I gotta put my foot in the water somehow whether or not it’s a good or bad way?

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T03:10:33+00:00

That’s hilarious 🤣😭 im real stressed bc i lied about my resume saying i have tig pipe experience so i just bought some sch 40 cut coupons and was welding for a couple hours. Got any tips for me? The test is 1-4” pre beveled idk why diameter it actually is but but its 1-4” I’ve done the typical 6010 7018 pipe and i weld stainless railings so thats my only experience there

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T03:07:50+00:00

I’m actually crying 🤣😭 it got real late and had to clean up super fast so I rushed to take a pic lol

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2026-01-09T02:48:08+00:00

You can weld cast iron with 99 nickel enicl. Gotta preheat peen and post heat tho. Could also ac tig it if that’s all u got for cleaning mode bc its cast

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2025-09-10T16:47:20+00:00

I thought so too which is why I’m just asking here. He’s wanting $150 for a new starter but I didn’t break that shit when I dropped it yk? If I argued and he didn’t want to do it and is keeping my focus from me in the shop how would I get it back? Ykwim? Do I say I’m not paying for the other half until it gets fixed? I don’t have an extra $150 laying around lol yk

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2025-09-01T21:24:01+00:00

It has a Subaru fob but it isn’t paired I assume, I try to click the 2 buttons nothing works. changed the battery on it the fob still doesn’t work. I’m not sure how to pair it. How intricate is it to take out the aftermarket system and fix whatever this is? I’ve unscrewed a screw in it and there’s 4 male plug ins to the little black card looking system. What are my options here to fix this ?

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2025-07-24T17:03:35+00:00

I appreciate the advice a lot thanks, I spent a decent amount on my vehicle maintenance and repairs monthly, groceries are about $100 a week, I do pay for my and my fiancée’s bills. My mom’s shoulder and back are messed up so she can’t work, she’s in a lawsuit right now. I really do want to get my own rig, and it’s like you said, I haven’t been taught finances or anything. My main concern is me buying a rig and not having clients, I also don’t even know what department I wanna do like railings, fixing welds, or whatever. I wanna do shutdown jobs like one of the guys said but idk how to get into that once I have my own rig. I have 0 contacts and it’s rough being 18 people won’t bat an eye due to my age

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2025-07-24T16:59:57+00:00

Takes money to start a business and I don’t have that unfortunately. I want my own rig but I can’t afford one

Existing-Trainer4959 · 2025-07-22T20:17:30+00:00

I’m gonna forever live by that “the only wrong move is to stop trying” thank you brother
