The Fast and Furious movie franchise is one of the biggest money makers in movie history, and whether you like each one or just some, they all started with the original Fast and Furious that we all know and love. Sure, there are some funny things from the first movie, like the fact that Paul Walker’s character, Brian O’Connor seemed to shift the Eclipse he was racing a jillion times per fun, some not so realistic damage to the cars, and more. But, overall this thing was entertaining and more.
So when Eastwood put out their latest video saying they were going to be putting together their own Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, as a clone to the one that Brian O’Connor had in the movie, we knew we had to check it out. But they are not starting with a clean car that is just ready for some graphics, this thing is going to need bodywork, body mods, and a full paint job. So watch the video, learn some metal working stuff, and see just what it takes to start a project like this.

That’s right, we’re tackling a SUPER unique project today in the Eastwood shop. We’re going to start by doing a ton of metal fab, welding, body work, and getting this car into primer. Can you say non-functional roof scoop? Check out the AC/DC MP200i we used for this project: https://bit.ly/3Yl7NgB AC/DC MP200i Most multi-process welders are primarily MIG units with the option to TIG-weld steel and, without a foot pedal, they often only let you scratch-start. The Eastwood Elite MP200i AC/DC raises the bar with this TIG-focused MP welder that features high-frequency start and rocker-style foot pedal so you can confidently TIG-weld steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. ✅ Operates on either 120V or 240V power ✅ Advanced IGBT inverter power supply and square-wave inverter technology ✅ MIG- or stick-weld thin steel and stainless steel up to 3/8-in thick; aluminum up to 1/4-in thick (with optional spool gun) ✅ TIG-weld steel, stainless steel, and aluminum up to 1/4-in thick ✅ True AC/DC TIG welder with foot pedal and high-frequency start ✅ WP17 flex-head TIG torch with gas lens kit for improved performance ✅ Dynamic cooling fan operates only when needed ✅ Fully independent MIG and TIG gas systems includes 2 gas regulator/flow meters ✅ Integrated storage cart with wheels, dual gas bottle storage, and side hooks for easy cable storage ✅ Backed by Eastwood’s no-hassle return policy and 3-year warranty For more information on Eastwood products visit www.eastwood.com
