“News” pretty much explains it.
We’ve decided to discontinue the 24″ wide flat front crossmember, making the 28″ wide crossmember the winner of the revered “Flat Front Crossmember Battle of 2016”.
The 28″ kit can still be trimmed to fit inside your frame rails, with the option of using it as a C notch if you change your mind about how low you want your front end (hint: you want it lower!). Click the image to view the item in our web store.

Grant Kay has put together another breakfast and garage crawl around our area of Southern Ontario. He was in today with an update of 156 people!
If you’re still interested in the crawl (breakfast is full), check out the attached PDF and get in touch with Grant. We’ll be open this Saturday so people can check out our little operation and pick up some stickers :). I heard that my wife may be doing some baking too…
Dear Welder Series…
I have a 50 ford truck with a early camaro subframe and a 396 in it. I want to swap a 351 windsor into it. Do you offer motor mounts for this swap?
Thanks
Dear Lee…
We make a couple of mounts for your 351W, Lee.http://welderseries.com/Ford-Engine-Mounts-Urethane-Bushed

There might be some oil pan clearance issues with the Camaro clip. Probably a good idea to trial fit the 351W before burning any bridges.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.

Welder Series does special parts for many things beyond hot rods. One personal project done for me, Paul Horton, is the tilt stand for the ZT Amplifiers that I use in my “second” career. In small club settings, I use the ZT Acoustic Lunchbox tilted back 30 degrees to project my voice, guitar, and drum synthesizer. A second ZT Lunchbox is used as a monitor for the drum machine. The stand lets it be tilted back at 60 degrees as a monitor. You can check out the Facebook page to see a short video.
Custom work is an almost daily part of Welder Series. If you would like a quote for your own idea, please email paul@welderseries.com.
We’ll be closed Monday September 7th to celebrate, among other things, the 8 hour work day. It seems like a day off to celebrate work should be called something other than a synonym for the thing you’re not doing. “Rest Day” would be ok. Wait, didn’t Sundays used to be for that? Now we only get one day a year??
Here’s some more info about the holiday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day
On your day off, maybe you’d like to sit around with your family and watch some Welder Series assembly videos… make sure you’ve got lots of snacks though because the kids will want to invite all their friends.
Thinking about work and labour, I can’t help but come back to how thankful I am for my country and for my wife, the mother of our four children. Very thankful indeed.

Canadian Street Rodding Hall Of Fame To Induct Larry Sawchuk
The Canadian Street Rodding Hall of Fame will honour Mr Larry Sawchuk of Wasaga Beach, Ontario at the 21st Annual Induction Gala being held Saturday, October 24, 2015 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 551, 79 Hamilton Street North in Waterdown, Ontario.
Larry Sawchuk is a lifetime street rodder and car guy who has been instrumental in growing the hobby through his active participation and leadership. Come out and hear and see the whole story at the Gala.
In addition, CSRHoF will replay the induction of Jack Greenhalgh of Ancaster, Ontario. Jack was one of the inductees last year but was unable to attend due to health reasons. He will be the first to be honoured for a second time at the 2015 Gala.
The evening consists of a meet and greet at 5:30 PM followed by a buffet meal and ceremonies beginning at 6:30 PM. Later, there is live entertainment for your listening and dancing enjoyment. Come out and be part of the celebration honouring Larry Sawchuk and Jack Greenhalgh, It’s always a great time!
Tickets are available at Horton Hot Rod Parts in Milton, Lek Triks in Burlington, Lowdown Hot Rods in Cambridge and at Paul Horton’s Welder Series in Breslau, Ontario. For credit card payment contact Welder Series toll free at 1-888-648-2150.
Please check out the link to learn more about Shelby’s Way, an organization dedicated to preventing suicide. Mark Cain puts on a car show called the Hot Rod Hullabaloo and at the show they’re going to be giving away an LS engine. You can buy tickets at the link. All proceeds go to the foundation, a really worthwhile cause. Mark has dedicated his life to it after his son Shelby took his own life in December 2009. The organization reaches out to people contemplating suicide and also helps support the family and friends left behind to deal with funeral costs, etc.
Please consider buying a $20 ticket… the money goes right to the people who will benefit from it, and you’ll have a chance to win a great engine!

Over the past few months, I’ve been transitioning (no not like that) web store products over to a new web store system (click here to check it out). This is kind of like getting a new interior – you have the same car, same steering column, same brake pedal, only it’s all covered up in a new way. You might get some handy LED lights in convenient places and maybe even a few more cupholders. The new web store has all the same products (almost 700!) but it’s displayed in a new way and the checkout process is easier. A drawback is your account on the old store will no longer work. I’m going to leave the old web store up for probably a year so you can still access your history, but eventually it might come down. It will be accessible under “Old Web Store”.
The other thing I’m working on is changing the look of the main site to a more simple layout. I think you’ll find it easier to navigate.
As always, we’d appreciate your feedback.
Maybe it’s #4. Or 7.
I picked up a Wasp camera the other day to make it easier to shoot how-to videos, and it seemed like a good idea to strap it on the frame rail and go for a drive.

Wes was a great guy to be around, and will be missed.
Steven sent these pictures back at the end of December, and sine he was the only person who sent pictures, he “wins” the $50 credit on his account!
Nice work, Steven.
The exchange rate saves you money on chassis parts!
Dear Welder Series…
Will the LS200 mounts also bolt to a 6.6 duramax block? If you don’t know, what are measurements between the center of the holes? Can you make custom?
Chris
Dear Chris…
Chris, I don’t know if the LS200 will fit the 6.6 Duramax, but the hole centers in the mount are very close to 4-7/16” x 3-1/16”. (The hole centers are probably metric.)Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts for your project.
Paul Horton
I will be shutting the phones off from just before 11:00am until 11:10 to observe Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Thanks Grandpa, and everyone else who has served in the interest of peace.
Lest we forget.
