My Twin Turbo Project


Quik

Recommended Posts

So i got bored one day and decided build a twin setup to display little of my fab abilities. Some know that im in Local 12 which is the sheet metal union and ive been in school since last year along with night classes getting my welding certifications. With having this background i wanted something i display my schooling. What better way then a bunch of tubes :)

 

heres a few pics

this build wasnt about how much power or how fast this setup can go. This build was a soul purpose of display. So if it runs 13s i dont care, the journey to finish is the fun part and exciting part of it.

Local 206 here! :cheers: I am on the Custom/Architectual side...no hvac for me...we still make our parts...j/k

Looks really good...I have been a member for 13 years...shouldn't you be at the contest in Vegas right now, or are you taking Journeyman upgrade welding classes.....

-Its nice to be able to fab your own stuff and not get ripped by some shop...but some people have $$ trees I guess

yea im taking the evening Journeyman advance classes. Im a first year that decided i wanted my certs as fast as possible. I wanted to be estabished as a welder rather then a duct hanger. In april im taking the Journeyman Tig classes, just to see what flaws i have in tig and if i can improve.

 

Yea i cant see paying a shop the money they get. Im not rich by no means and take more pride in doing ti myself then writing a check

Looking good out there Quik

 

I started out in Local 73 Chicago actually when I saw you way back at Holty's I was still in 73 I am in 88 now here in Vegas. Work is slow as hell for everyone. Get yourself in some balancing classes as well. It will really open up more options for you besides welding or hanging duct. I have been a certified balancer and welder since the beginning of my 4th year of apprenticeship. It's well worth it.

 

Can't wait to see how the truck turns out
