Here's a pretty simple way to flare your steel rockers. They come out pretty nice.

I did all the welding on 914RS with the welder which was previously pictured. It's a Lincoln TIG Squarewave Pro-175. Purchased online for around $1400(delivered) + $150 for the argon bottle (150 cu. ft), $50 to fill it, $150 for an auto darkening helmet and a few other pieces here and there. I can weld steel, aluminum and stainless with it and it's probably my favorite tool EVER. |
