My wife has a 1962 model Miller TIG and I have a Lincoln 225 TIG. We TIG everything. The MIG is covered in dust in the corner.

You are one of the few other people I know that use a Lincoln tig. I have about an 1980 model Lincoln Idealarc Tig 300. I really only use it for heavy aluminum anymore. Its hard to beat the inverter arc on the Dynasty 200 for light non AC work.

I'm still learing to weld. I bought a Lincoln 135amp mig and have a 75/25 cylinder and I have a blast every time I fire it up. I'll master that skill, then get a tig so I can begin making awesome looking stuff like you've got there. I guess craigslist is about the best place to get one of these machines, since I'm in no way using it for a living and evidently even machines from the '60s still work like a charm! I've got a lot of practicing to do before I can do stuff like you've got there

I love my Miller - it's a big, bad ****. Brian's Lincoln is nice, but I like my big dog.

I was wondering with the relatively recent release of the 25.3 specs how close you actually got with your interpration prior to the release.

So does that mean your work on the car is done and its off to someone else to finish the thing or is it just sitting in a garage somewhere collecting dust due to lack of $$$?

Would hate to see that hard work go to waste as I'm sure MANY want to see this bad boy all done and on the track.

I know it used to be on Futral's website in the project vehicles section as "Project Drag Radial" but it's no longer there. It appears to have gone into hiding.
