Anyone have a weld hook up in the city or where to go? I heard aluminum cases needs an arc weld? i need that spot filled in for the 80 metrakit transfer. sooner the better too!

Weiss Welding on Folsom. Live the orange magnum!!!
epoxy works good for that
Weiss will take care of you. and you need a tig or mig welder to fill that.
Just be careful since they neet to weld right next to the mating surface of the kit and the case you might need to grind/sand down a high spot to make the case square again.
i've spent ___ hours on this anyways, this shit better rock! we should meet up today for the jets. is there anyone else with the 80 here?
Brandon I used JB weld on mine and it works fine. I got a piece of flat clear plastic and mounted it to the case opening using the studs then backfilled the JB weld so I could see how much to put in there. After it dries use a dremel to clean up the edges and your ready to rock. See the picture. I put the JB on before the porting.

They need either a MIG or a TIG weld, a place that does aluminum fabrication, like aluminum boats, can fix it for you.
i'm going pro pederass, who wants to sponsor me?

Looks great, Looks like it'll be a monster.
thats two posts where peeps said MIG weld would work, but they are DEAD WRONG.
TIG is the only way. good work.
TIG confirmed!!!!!!
you can do it with a DC wire feed, if you have argon and it helps to have a spool gun. tig gives much better control though, which is critical for crazy shaped cast parts.
You need the right gas to use a MIG on aluminum, and the right wire of course.
