Hey all. Thought I'd offer my services for TIG welding, repairing and/or machining any broken parts for those who don't want to shell out the big bucks for new weldments, scoops, guides, habitrails etc. or have something that can't be replaced. PM me with whatever you need done and we can work it out. And I always appreciate a repair or fabrication challenge! I can also offer cut and welded legs that retain the levelers for a 1" drop, for those of you with low ceilings and/or high toppers (like me). PM me if you need anything.

Isn't "Habitrails" doing that? I'm sure he'd be much more adept than I. If not I can look at it, send me a PM.

Just did an AFM ball guide with a broken-off tab, here's an example pic of the finished piece. Repair is on the right, if it's not obvious.

Devlman is a great guy. Bought a TAF from him and he just did a scoop weld job for a Popeye I have. Excellent work, great guy, and an asset to Pinside!

Do you have access to re-chroming habit trails after repair? If so, you would be a great one-stop shop for me.

Do you think you could do something with the left hand scoop in this photo? I have the tab that broke off.

Ide prolly send him both scoops and the tab might as well have him add a weld on the right ramp tab as well to reinforce it.

I have realy one question, good service, ive done some of these as well but use mig do you also use stainless filler rods when you tig the ramps??
