Welding Race Cars.mp4
This video presents information about welding race cars that summarizes an article published in the American Welding Societies Journal. It outlines additional information presented on our www.NetWelding.com web site. It includes a few video clips of Richard Petty discussing the importance of quality welds in making a safe race car.
It has suggestions and potential problems when welding 4130 Chrome-Moly used by drag racers as well as the mild steel used in NASCAR chassis. You can see the 1st page of information on welding race cars at: www.NetWelding.com/Welding_Race_Cars.htm
