seen er ti 2 (pure) for $73.25 - about 35 quid per pound. If i built the frame out of mild steel it would way about 80 kilo or 170 pound. ti is 40 or 50 % lighter so 80 lbs @ £35 is £2800. This figure aint exact but it cant be that far out. If i can do the frame for that i'll be ecstatic - i'm putting a brand new engine in it so the ti wont be the biggest part of the equation but could be crucial to the cars overall weight.

Yes, Titanium is DC tiged, with argon/helium mix or pure argon.

I didnt mention that you need perfect conditions to do it, so working in your garage isnt really going to work. When i say perfect, i mean a purged area to work in, eg a chamber.
