Welding Knuck tranmission cases

I have two 47 knuck transmission cases that were in need of repair. I have a new water cooled TIG welder that I have been practicing with since last summer. Here is what I am able to do now.
Start by grinding out the bad area


Then weld up with aluminum filler rod

Lee is a knuck drag racer from back in the day who I have a lot of respect for. He does a lot of cool things in his shop, while dropping off the motor he showed me this crazy Leineweber # 5 Knuckle cam he had made and told me about the history of the legendary Knucklehead "Lightning" cam which is shown below



I wish I could get over there more often, every time I stop in Lee has cool things to talk about, and neat projects all over.

Happy Friday

Don't forget to hang your lights

"Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."

LOVE is in the air

Be there, going to be RAD!
