Worlds Worst Weld?

[qtband]

I bought this Manco kart to rebuild as a mini-kart for a little kid. Look at this weld. Have you ever seen one worse!

 

[Doc Sprocket]

That's a weld? I wouldn't call that a weld... That's brutal- I think my buddy did that! I hope you slapped the guy. Did he do it with a car battery wired backwards and a pound of galvanized nails?

There's some more beautiful stuff on this kart. I'll add some tomorrow.

... for lack of better words, it looks like someone play-doh'd it back together with a turd.

Even for a beginning welder, I think it would take effort to make something look that bad.

lol probrobly the strongest joint on the whole kart though

 

[RyanSGriffith]

looks like a tumor growing on it. You should have a Doctor check that...

 

[qtband]

As promised, here is another beauty on this kart.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Oh, wow. How much did he pay you to take and fix his junk, anyway? Well, you've got your work cut out for you- If you've cut it already, that is...

The first looks like our old plum trees with the black knot canker infection.

 

[devino246]

Oh GAWD! To both the weld and the tree.

 

[mckutzy]

So true my friend, but of the ones that grew, the plums were great.... I digress to say the kart is a more a lemon though.

It was nice to see he used a good strong piece of metal for a gusset........wow!

I'm guessing that IA was canceled in the area do to low enrollment, but the need for the basic skills still exist. Work with the young kid who did this, teach him right from wrong. (Even if he is in his 40's.)

But... but... the kart has held together. Eh? Might look like shiite, but it's in one piece. Could have been my work, but no, I'd have ground the bugger down just to hide it.
