FabTime: Super Bowl Lombardi Trophy. How is it made?

Posted on

The Super Bowl. So much hype for this sunday, and for good reason. No need to get into the history of the game or day, we instead want to show you a little bit of behind the scenes. The Wall St Journal filmed a short video showing how the Vince Lombardi Trophy is made. Interesting watch for those like us who will be cramming food on the edge of our seat glued to Super Bowl XLVIII!

…and yes, Tiffany & Co! That is a big ass price tag!

Who are you rooting for?

Fabrication Life fans, we need your opinion! We posted the photo below yesterday, and we all were obsessed with it. Everything about it screamed BAD ASS! Spending the day with the materials to make this happen is even worse because we got that itch. You all know the itch… it’s a curse!

Tig’d Up Tuesday Review 1-07

Posted on

Tig’d Up Tuesday is that day when our Fan Page goes crazy. We get messages right and left and we post tons of work people send in. There is no method to our madness on this day, no strategy, no timing structure, and no perfect weld to send. Some days we will only post the best work, and some days we will pick 1-3 photos which need critique, or in which a welder needs advice, and we will post them for the crowd. What we mean basically is we have no exact process for Tig’d Up Tuesday.

 

We also have a new “How-To” post for those of you looking for better weld prep techniques. This post has gained strong attention.

With that said, here are the photos we chose last week.

D3 Engineering Twin Turbo GT500

D3 Performance Engineering GT500 Project

gt500

This 2010 Ford GT500 was brought to us by its owner Dai Nguyen, it already had the supercharger deleted and was running an off the shelf twin turbo kit, but he was displeased with the fact it ran the stock manifolds, placed the turbos under the engine close to the ground, and wouldn’t allow him to run a auto trans in the future. His request was he wanted a top notch turbo system that placed the Precision 6466 turbos up front, was capable of 1400whp if he wanted to go that high, had AC and power steering and the rest he left up to us.
