Default Re: 1961 GMC Shocked When Bracket Broken

Hi Fetch,

By ninja welding, do you mean getting the job done slower than the critter in this photo moves? Then, yeah, I've got that skill.

My attempt at stick welding generated an immediate phone call: the fire department wanted to keep a rig in my driveway. Seems I was making less welds and more shooting stars. Now it's mostly acetylene and oxygen, which shows I never get tired of poking sticks in puddles.

I don't know if I imagine it, but welding on 1961 GMC's 50 year old steel is like spreading butter. Working with big box steel is trying to melt carbide tipped drill bits, coat hangers, and dud fire crackers at the same time.

When it comes to welding, the Powder Puff and you get the job done. Keep up the good work.

Regards and Have a great day,

Culver
