I have just finished welding my Bugpack dual quiet muffler yesterday. Welded around the muffler to entry pipe because one muffler was hanging and ready to fall off , I rewelded the hangers because the welds were so weak that anyone could break them off by hand I always had hangers on these since the install. I rewelded the center inlet pipe. I only had this since last September. The new welds were no longer performed using gas I now used a dc arcwelder using hard but non brittle metal rods. I hope this will hold now. In the future whenever I perform an engine removal I will weld all seams with my dad's new MIG welder. I am replacing my generator today because the commutator has a flat spot, it makes the brushes bob up and down, it generates nice sparks, wears the brushes down quickly but it still charges good while the brushes are still brushing. I have received my new JC Whitney air shocks yesterday to replace my 6 months old Gabriel air shocks that popped on me and made my car looked slammed but drags muffler and scrapes rocks on third world roads. The JC's are some kind of an American brand that looks just like the Gabriels that broke. I understand the Gab's are no longer made but maybe this company got the molds and machinery from them. I did a stupid thing this morning, I rear ended a Ford T-bird and scratched his bumper and ripped a two inch hole in his rubber bumper cover. He was not insured and accepeted my forty bucks so as to avoid hassel with my insurance. He slammed on his brakes in front of me, he told me that he had brake fluid leaking to his brake drums..... Well, I broke one of my turn signals and my bumper guard and thats all the guard guarded the bumper pretty well , I guess I can get one locally.
