made a rail for my coupe last night since its rotted. The rail will need some final trimming and the added lip at the top so i can weld it to the chassis. The welds came out alright, they could of been better as in uniform, but more to come. the rail was fully welded on the outside & welded on the inside every few inch for added support. ![http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p245/Acidz1/Fabrication/Welding/SDC11236.jpg](http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p245/Acidz1/Fabrication/Welding/SDC11236.jpg) ![http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p245/Acidz1/Fabrication/Welding/SDC11239.jpg](http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p245/Acidz1/Fabrication/Welding/SDC11239.jpg) ---

Miller \> Lincoln! Lol NICE purchase my friend. The 225 is a great machine… Although a little light on the amperage… The miller elite helmet is great (I own the canadian flag version) but vision is limited by the viewing area… And the batteies don’t keep charged like most do. I’ve used the 225 countless times. You won’t be disappointed! ---
