Horsepower and speed held together with these welds

Some of it appears to have been done fcaw, having that tan color soot around the thicker welds.Some of it looks ok, a lot of it doesn't.

Reply:From the few pics I did see, they're not that awful. I didn't look at all the pages, but none seemed "dangerous" to me. Everything also seems very overbuilt. Clearly he's not a professional, but I would consider him better than the average hobbyist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reply:Seems fine to me for what it is. Anything questionable looks like it's made up for in overkill. As long as the cage passes tech, who cares. It's a race car, it doesn't have to be pretty. pretty means nothing.Welding/Fab Pics: www.UtahWeld.com
Reply:I would say, they do seem to be bad but not horrible. It appears penetration was ok on some of them. Still, nothing to be putting on a race car.Hope it fails tech inspection.
Reply:I spent a good part of my life around race cars. And I see overkill, ugly yes but too heavy to go fast enough to kill. The race seat has nice welds though.  Thermal arc 211iCk flex-loc 150 & 130Clamps, saws & grindersHarbor freight 80 amp inverter
