This is the best deal I have ever offered. The package includes 1 tank, filter console,filler neck, engine sheet metal kit for $725 plus shipping. Everything would ship by the end of August. How you reserve your deal? Pm your email, shipping address, PayPal email is preferred. I will send you an invoice. You will never see a cheaper deal on these parts. Pending results of some of my certifications this maybe the end of my offerings so act while you can.

PM me for deals on non package priced parts on my web page. Www.914-6werkshop.com. It has been a pleasure providing these parts for the last 9 years and appreciate all the support.

Grateful that I was able to get parts from you when I did.

I trust the certs will allow you to make better use of your time.

Thanks for all you’ve done for us Ben. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

If I pass the certs I will clear a path to early retirement from my day job and utilize the certs to earn some serious money anywhere in the country.

I hope to be able to sell off the remainder of my inventory at a great value and allow people to continue to convert these cars on a budget

Well DAMN!

I MAY need a dry sump tank for my LGX swap.

I KNOW who's tank I would want!

If I told my Wife (who I LOVE) that I want to by a tank for a mod for an engine I DO NOT have yet and am not completely sure will work...

She's beat me like a red-headed stepchild!

Yep, would NOT be a GOOD day!

I would have thought you were one of the critters who determined who could be a "certified welder".

I'm guessing you could "write the book, prepare the test questions".

I'd LOVE to see you qualification results...

I'd bet that you'll "goose egg" it.

I have been professionally involved in welding for 30 years now either doing it as a certified welder or teaching welding. I am currently trying to pass my CWI tests and did my first big one yesterday and won’t know the results for as much as 20 weeks from now . Attached is the pass rate for these tests which are considered my industry’s equivalent to exams given to lawyers, or doctors in their industry. Many of the folks doing this are NDE experts and engineers which most of them also complained yesterday about the difficulty.Attached Image

My first question would be "Was it hard for you?"...

I'd bet it was not and you may have seen questions that you would have worded differently as the question itself was ambiguous.

I am an ASE double master (which doesn't mean SHIT!) but I took the L1 advanced technician test the very first time it was made available.

That first test had a 90% failure rate...

I hit a 98!

They "dumbed down" the test after that...

It's NOT the same!
I believe the welding CWI test is very hard!
Harder than any ASE bullshit!

I'm BEST at spotting APEX masters...

A master that other masters turn too...

If you "find the Wizard FIRST" everything after will show you how lucky you were!

I am a welding Newbie...
I would love the time to play around with my welders for a year, get semi-comfortable, THEN talk you into teaching me how YOU would tig the metal flares on my car.

This would require a full-on car hauler trip to you, car on rotisserie, lots of money, and a cattle prod I'd provide for attitude adjustment!

Was the test hard?

Lol love your posts. Yes hands down the hardest test I have ever done. It is written to mix you up and has nothing to do with knowledge but the ability to navigate poorly worded and confusing questions and then you search for the answers in the fake code book. It is really hard in my opinion.

Maybe I will make it your way some day and do a one on one training

See, I knew what your answer would be.

Mostly BS with little meat and you automatically saw through it...

I'd bet you thought "Shit, I could have created a better test for actual real-life welding".

It was HARD but not for the RIGHT reasons...

I had you pegged for an "enthusiast" technician and GOD-LIKE Aero-space quailty welder in the first few posts I had with you...

I can spot APEX better than anyone I know!

When you posted multiple years of aero welding my reply was my shortest post yet.

"Explains Much!"

You started under other Uber Master's at the pinnacle of structural welding.
You were DOOMED to it from the start...

I got lucky (or cursed!) too.

Had multiple apex masters early in my career.

I'd love to have you down!

I wouldn't choose to come here in the "High Summer" although my shop does have central HVAC. I'm pretty busy then as well.

Mid-winter here will feel like early fall to you...

@mb911

How much would you charge me to teach me to TIG weld? I have been doing OXY/Acetylene since I was a pre-teen. I learned stick in high school. I know how to MIG weld. So I know the basics. I even have a TIG machine (*Hobart TIGMate).

Oh man not sure. Gotta think about that. A workshop for the local guys would be ideal

Maybe 5 or six of us for a class, and have Ben fly in and teach it??? Kinda like Dr. Evil's transmission clinics?

I'm in if it's a mid-winter thing.

My shop is big enough to host a class.

So, the "Building" could be free (and HEATED!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif)

This IS the NINJA way!

Least commute for the lazy Ninja...

Mid December would be ideal for me if we can put this together. I would talk to DR evil to see how he charged, hotel, flight, etc

Now, you DO realize that I just "snaked" my way into getting you to come to me...

Negating the need for a bullshit 1100-mile run, with a full sided race trailer (which I don't have a "friend" yet with one) with a stripped ass car mounted to a decent rotisserie.

The logistics of that mean hard mounting the rot to the trailer...

I do a GOOD job of hosting...

Maybe make it an annual and by the next "Go around" I should be ready for the flares.

I bet LOTS of folks would show up for the full-on flare installation.

I just hit regret...

One of the heavies on here was selling a new set of good ones for 1k

I was FREAKING tempted! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)
They were NICE!

Had I been smart and snatched those puppies up It COULD have been this year!!!

Bad NINJA! BAD, BAD NINJA! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif)

The silver 75 I have will require a piss poor overspray and the original paint removed.
I expect the underlying metal will be as NOS as you have EVER encountered.
The factory paint inside the fenders is near perfect and still glossy in many places.
It COULD be kept in "survivor" status.
Thank God it's not special at all...

This car will not require much prep...

I also have a Bend Pak twisted arm 2 post lift that leaves the fender wells completely accessible!

Nicer to learn upright!

Should have bought those flares...

Had yet another thought!

Mind works slower now sadly...

I have SACRIFICIAL carcasses that are DESTINED to be scrapped.

I have "The Pile of Junk" that Thomas Edison referenced.

Lots of "try it out opportunities" for practice for ALL of the attendees.

I don't give a "fat rat's ass" about the cars...

All can be made to roll.

Maybe someone will need a chunk!

The annual MB911/Ninja bash where everyone leaves MUCH smarter, slightly singed with debris from a couple of trashed cars that they "vultured".

Someone's gonna have to bring the beer!

I've got decent air too!

Edit: Might also be able to include a "fireworks display".
Will have to play that one by ear...
