I will either have this welder repaired or get another one within a 1/1.5 months so I will have the remaining tanks done late January/February.

Sounds good, I probably won't be on track again til after that, need some time to rebuild.

I'm not in the US right now, but I'll need to install it right when I get back, so if possible I'd like to have mine now.

Dep next to my name means I paid the deposit right? I'm pretty sure I did, but I don't remember for sure, I'd have to go back and look at my paypal history.

Thanks Adam!

Sigh, I want to apologize, unfortunately my welder went into a fritz and it needs to get it fixed. I'm waiting for a reply from a Miller tech services rep on what needs to be fixed.

So at this point in time I'm on hold again on welding the remaining tanks until I can get it fixed. I'm really really sorry about this guys.

At this point in time I have three tanks that are completely welded up and ready to be put together as kits. So in the meantime while I try and get my welder fixed I will be finishing three catch tank kits ASAP. I will be working on the rear turbo side vent lines and remaining parts needed this weekend.

So at this point in time I need to know which three of the list below needs tanks NOW instead of later.

1. speedjunkie - Dep
2. RedR1 - Deposit Paid - Polished Catch Tank
3. Zhe
4. Scrubolio - Dep

The guys below I know are either not in a position that they need the tanks NOW in order to get their cars running OR need premix tanks which I do not have any done. Thanks for your patience guys! FierceAlien, I'm really sorry.

1. Astrokid - Paid in Full - Catch Tank - Raw Finish
2. Matt Hardwick - Xenocide0 - Deposit Paid - Pre - Mix Tank - Satin Black
3. FierceAlien - Deposit Paid - Premix tank - Satin Black
4. Jesse Frame - aka Prometheus - Paid in Full - Catch Tank - Satin Finish
5. Rob - Paid in full - Custom AN Fittings - Raw finish
6. aoc007 - Paid in Full - Catch Tank - Satin Black

I know I'm really sorry, really really frustrated about this. Will be taking the welder to a local welding repair shop. It's either and SCR or a board, they will have to put a scope on the output to see what going on.

Lol, in won't be a decade from now. If your serious I will be selling my extra tank early next year, mind you at full price. If you want it buy it.

Adam

Yea im serious about getting one from you. I can wait for one in the spring the members before me deserve one first. Nice product by the way :biggthumpup:

Checking in. Can we can an update please?

yes please updates. did you fix the ol tig welder?

I went ahead and made the decision to make the rear vent line out of stainless. A bit more expensive, but I get a better product. So I picked up all the stainless laser cut pieces I had made yesterday and currently working on the right rear breather lines (bent and welded) today. I should have most of them done by the end of this weekend.

Come Tuesday I will be taking my welder to a different local repair shop that guarantees one week turnaround time for repairs. So come the 24th I will be back in business for welding the aluminum tanks.

Cool, I'll be coming back around that time and I'm gonna need it quick lol. Thanks for the update!

Alright RedR1 has taken a pass for a later unit and Scrubolio is MIA. And Zhe is out, so I will be getting the other two finished tanks to either the following people. So which one you guys need your catch tank now and who can wait another 3-4 weeks?

Jesse
aoc007

Also has anyone heard from Scrubolio?

I can wait and i will for sure pick one up.

Alright got an update from welding repair guy, he said it will be repaired middle of next week. Turned out to be two SCRs, very big Diodes.
