Maybe spend your money on a good welder, then the painter?
Flame job looks good........on the wall.

Still crazy after all these years!
Sometimes I think guys get too interested in making "Pretty" welds instead of strong welds.

He should've hired the dude that welded his prosthetics. You can probably trust a guy who's certified in titanium.

It's just a little surface rust!
I didn't see anything resembling welds on the brackets that WERE holding the rear....looked like he must have ground them almost off...still a real shame...was a good looking car!....cr

There was welding involved? Didn't even look like it was attached to the axle!
I agree were are the welds on the bracket. Also that way I always weld a full cage around the axle when doing a 4 bar or triangle link to the rear. That way if it breaks loose it will stay under the car.

I agree, but I'm not sure even that method could save this mess. Look at the "stuff" on top of the bracket. Whatzat?
I'll quote a former co-worker, "That's not welding. All you're doing is STICKING two pieces together".

50/50 solder won't hold all that power in that car,should have used 75/25.

Is that sort of like...
Blind in one eye and can't see out of the other??? Maybe a little JB Weld would have helped??
