Holy bee-jeesus I would never wear a cotton glove to weld with. That thing would end up with my hand engulfed in a fireball in no time flat. Although, I rarely wear a glove at all when tig welding. Sometimes I'll use a cheap leather glove I've got on the torch hand when welding aluminum because I don't have a water cooled torch.

Did this whole plumming job for this 10.5 outlaw/pro mod car. Goals are 3s and over 200 in the 1/8th. Made 3800 hp at 36psi previously on a really fucked up set of headers and charge tubes, so more is expected. Dart 530 big block, Twin precision pro comp 91mm dual ball bearing billet turbos. 4-2-1 design, hand formed final collectors, two 2.5" tubes transitioning to 3.5".. what a bitch. I would have made all 6 collectors but there was only 7 days for this project. I tried for 180 degree headers but my client didn't want to go that far.. Haha.

Second to last picture: That's how you know something was made properly. Who cares how pretty the outside welds look, is it welded on the inside(may not even be needed) and is it ported / ground smooth. Awesome work.
