Fuck that guy. I'll  figure it out and get better at welding. This project was probably my 5th time playing with the welder.  Have a set of carbide grinding burs. I'll grind/flap wheel it down carefully and play with the welder settings on some. I think I'm having issues eith build up and penetration.  After chatting with Garritt last night, I probably need to turn down my feed speed and heat. That way maybe instead of laying caterpillars, I can try a curliecue weave and hopefully I won't burn through.  This will be a few week project as things have been very busy lately and I have to setup outside everytime if I'm doing it at home.[ATTACH=full]49614[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]49615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]49616[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]49617[/ATTACH]Have to say it looks "horrible", but I don't know if I give a shit since I'll only see it from under the car.  As long as I can get it to not leak I'll be happy.This morning I went down to the basement and started working on my fuel lines and fittings.  After doing regular regular AN lines in the past and using adjustable steel wrenches and habing them scrstched and apl fucked up looking.  I decided I am a man and I can afford the $40 of tools to not make it look like I put it in a wood chipper.   My dutch nature told me i was wasting money and grtting the ferrul tool was stupid. [ATTACH=full]49613[/ATTACH]I will say this, PTFE lines with the ferrul was so freaking easy, And the wrenches left no scratches.  Shocking I know...  at least now i have the tools tonone day redo green cars lines in PTFE.  I remember making lines for green car and being absolutely miserable.  Somehow on that project a half inch ong piece of wire went complete through the side my shoe and into my foot. My friend watched me take my shoe and sock off. Find it and pull the thing out.  It was almost comical how much was in there.[ATTACH=full]49611[/ATTACH]Have the 10 AN to ORB fittings now for the oil filter relocation block on and installed.  I need to make 10nAN lines and get a filter adapter block.  Now the question here is fo I reuse 10 AN standard line and fittings I have laying around or just Bite the bullet and order 4 ptfe fittings and 10 ft of line?[ATTACH=full]49612[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
