Wiggins clamps give me a chubby.
The packages we make are the 1350R Series above the Z1100 packages, this a simular package. Make sure you check out the June issue of VETTE Magazine "out now" page 48 for our Z1100 acticle. Here are some photo's from last year 2006. There are many TT Z06's now, I think it all started with Chris at ECS or maybe Norms car at Lingenfelter's is the oldest.

Still a sweet car regardless of the welds, and I certainly could not do any better so no offense meant by my comments

Thanks for the compliment on the avatar, got $2?

I just saw this and you're a funny, funny man! By the way, You're Welcome!

Thats apples and oranges my friend, when it comes to welds.


Most "pretty" alum. welds, don't hold for junk, and have poor penetration of the metal. So, honestly from a durability standpoint, though welds look perfect, maybe a touch shaky, but good beads on them.


EA
Having been a Nuclear Certified welder in SMAW and GTAW, inconel, stainless, aluminum (over 10 years ago and didn't keep up my Certs), I can say that I disagree as far as a pretty aluminum weld not holding and not being strong. Back in the day, when getting Certified in Aluminum (GTAW, ie. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), my welds looked like a row of dimes and when tested both destructively (cut the pipe and look at the weld) and non- destructively (x-rayed), the penetration was through and they looked Purty!

But you are correct in that a ferrous weld (steel or iron) will look different than a non-ferrous weld. If both are done correctly , strength is not an issue! Just my take on it.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program already in progress!

Interesting - I love the aerobody myself - just the best version of the C4 body IMO.

Different strokes!
