Looks like a stand made to hold pipes of various diameters vertically for welding.  :)

Here is a picture of a 3" fixture I use for v-bands.  This was a downpipe I built for a crx that needed a tight radius to clear the crank pully and the downpipe runs through the frame and out the bumper!



Sorry for the huge pic :( lol

Here is a few pics of the forward facing turbo set up i built for a customer. Its a 91 Crx Drag Car I have soo many hours into it Its crazy. Did the whole chassis it has 8.50 cert cage and just a ton of other work.

The frame is notched and boxed in with tubing. The downpipe and wastegate dump run through it and out the bumper.






Intake I built for it,  this will mate the throttle body to the intercooler outlet.


Nissan s13 240sx hatchback Rollcage i built. Real happy with it. First time mig welding a cage and it came out great. Gussets were tig and are boxed in front and back. Its built to formulad specs for 2015.




5" Vband! lol Built a test pipe for a 2007 dodge dually Diesel. Also vband the cat so the owner could easily swap the two.

Built a downpipe today for the 1974 bmw 2002til.  Customer is running an older gt2871R T3 with 5 bolt downpipe.







Hard to get a nice picture of it installed in the car but its soo much nicer than the kit the customer had on it orginally

I did some MIG welding on my Jeep that turned out pretty nice recently.

1/8" 2x2 tapering stingers to tie between the unibody frame stiffeners and a 3/16" rectangular tube rocker replacement.

Millermatic 135 (110v machine) so I preheated with MAP gas to be sure it was getting the penetration.  Almost looks like TIG but it's just the strong back and forth weave pattern I was doing.
