so I had an extra nose cone for my 1974 dodge dart swinger and I have decided to try to remove the point/beak from the front of the cone heres my progress so far

 

Aw thats my favorite part! I hope you have some coooool plans for it!

 

dude, clean that workbench

 

Looks like your welding a little too hot. Keep us posted though!

K got the welder working a bit better and cleaned the work bench im going to place a dodge emblem were the nose has been flatened

 

What are you using for a welding machine?

And a clean work bench is sign of a sick mind

 

Thats not his workbench.....that is his KITCHEN TABLE! Gearheads RULE!
Welds did look a bit hot though. But it doesnt look like flux-core. Some thin copper sheet, or leafs held behind would act as a heat-sink, and also provide a non-stick backing for filling gaps. They can easily be found at a recycling center where all the crack-heads sell their stolen loot! I bought some steel cut into strips in 22, 20, and 18 ga steel so I could practice and get my settings dialed-in before hitting the car. Good on you for trying something different!

 

some older thing called a sun beam or somthing its an auto body special welder

 

I looked it up. All the sites are Australian that mention it! Here, keep this for your reference if you have issues or questions! http://www.google.com/search?q=%22su...ient=firefox-a
