Worst Weld Ever? (Possibly worse than that "Turbo Manifold")

This is what the OP said (Was posted on a forum, i saw it through bangshift)

 

"Anybody have any stories or pics of unbelievable welding failures to convey to the troops? A very good old friend of the family called and asked if I might weld a crack in a frame of a four wheeler he had bought for his grandson. He'd been riding for awhile before his son-n-law noticed it. Of course was my reply, and I could only wonder if it was in an attainable spot or if they would have disassembled it to where I could access it, would it be greasy? When it rolled into my shop, this is what I saw... "

That's not a bad weld...

 

That China Quad just got some scrapes on the trail and the wound is scabbing over. Should be good to go in a couple of weeks! :thumbup:

 

I was trying to think of what nasty shit that reminded me of and that just gave the worst mental image of all time..... :)

That is pretty bad and coming from me that's saying a lot. My welding skills suck. I can put two metal parts together and they hold but very rarely is it a pretty job when I'm done. Edited by xlr8tn

:lol: Care to explain?

 

Just google search Jeff Lutz and see the thread that comes up on Yellowbullet about the car he "built".

 

EVERY shop makes mistakes, its how they recover from those mistakes that tells the story of how good they really are.

Im curious too, thought Jeff Lutz always made badass cars.

 

No, he doesn't. That 57 chevy wasn't built by him. There's a big thread on YB about a chassis he did for a guy. A lot of things wrong, including not welding all around the tubes, filling in empty spots with jb weld/silicone. But somehow leaving his shop with a chassis cert lol. Ill look it up later for you.
