Tig/Mig welding and powder coating
-
-
Zach powdercoated my valvecover, and it was good.
Thanks! I tried to level out some of the casting marks, but they're really a nightmare in these valve covers. I had a guy embrace the suck and go transparent blue over a bare substrate.

Zach powdercoated just about everything in this engine bay:

Damn, had I known you could do aluminum welding I would've had you weld in my oil pan baffle. The guy who did it sort of boogered it in there...
If it was baffles, guy should have just ran a couple short stitches. I'd be curious to see what the welds look like.

Yup just 5-6 1" stitches, they just aren't very nice looking... Didn't snap a picture unfortunately

Impressive work! Once I get some time to pull some things off the car, I'll be in touch about a bit of suspension-related welding work.
I'll be doing some of that myself. Lots of subframe reinforcements and what not on my 332ti project.

With a 332ti you'll need it! Fun swap. After driving John Morgan's beast I still have a soft spot for the combination.
I'll just need some new lower spring perches welded onto e30 strut tubes for a Ground Control setup on the race car. Finally have all the parts in hand. Possibly cutting/shortening and rewelding the tubes as well. Still thinking about that one though.

Did some crazy multi stage coatings with masking for my fiance's co workers at tosa east high school.

Decided to cut the strut tubes 1.5" for better suspension travel. Shortened and rewelded strut tubes back from Zach in a very fast turn around. They're sitting at an angle on the workbench in the pic which distorts the lines a bit but everything is clean and straight. Thanks Zach!
Now need to paint, fab some spacers for the short body Koni's, put everything together in the GC kit and install in the car.
