It looks good. I think you are welding your vertical alittle hot and fast. But keep us posted.

^^^ on what, the shock mounts? Thats stick correct, what sort of stick are you using, that low carbon-high density white rod; 7018 I think it is? or that red rod. slag looks like 7018 and thats good shit to weld frames with.

My dad had some extra 1/2"o.d. refridgeration line. and a hand bender with flare fittings. He promises me it won't leak. I don't know we are going to find out in the next day or so.

Let us know how the copper works out for ya, I've been thinking about doing that for a while. How did you mount it when running it? I see some kind of metal clamp. Hopefully that won't vibrate and rub a whole in the copper.
