My friend is cheap

[Akromix]

So my friend went to u-pull yesterday and got a stock muffler that was rusty and asked me to come over and help him wrap it with new sheet metal. I think he's crazy, but I do it since I have nothing else to do. The shop he's got is incredible...there's a 5-axis CNC machine as big as my garage in one of the ginormous buildings, various metal working tools, rollers, stampers, presses, etc. Rolled the sheet metal and tacked it, then I TIG'd it for him. He sent me a pic today after he painted it.

Wasn't too much, materials are free, used a little bit of tungsten up on the TIG.
