Killjoy! Next you'll tell him that if the damage didn't warp it the welding did.

Yes that was the first thing I did John. I had them weld the outside with the case bolted together and not
unbolt it till it cooled. When I weld castings on Ferrari's I leave them jigged until it cools off. I use a wire
feed aluminum mig welder (Cebora) at work but I wanted the cases tig welded. The Tig welder I want
is $9000 so I will never be able to afford that. Last time I had welding training in Italy they demo-ed
there new tig. You can teach anyone to tig with it in a few hours, it was that easy to use. I quit Ferrari
18 months ago but going to start again in Jan. as a part time instructor.

This was a 458 Challenge I rebuilt just before I left.

We never know the "extent" of everyones capabilities. It never hurts to "ask". Cast aluminum warps very easily with welding. And it would suck to not have cases seal or a crank that won't turn when you are trying to assemble it.

Ron had it under control........

I dropped off the 73 Hybrid on Friday so got back on the other 73. Just waiting for a few more parts and the correct
tail light bracket. I have 2 more 72 H2's to clean up and then 6 early H1's. If your going to have a part time hobby,
it mines as well be working of old Kawasaki's.

Looks great!

You forgot the chain

Just got it in the mail yesterday along with about 10 other small parts I need to finish it up.

Very nice indeed!
