Soooo, It’s fully welded in. Some welds were easy and turned out decent
and then there’s the pinch weld.
I knew going in it would be a pita and I wasn’t disappointed. I went along the bottom of the seam and placed tack welds down the entire edge of the seam. Like 18 bagillion spot welds. I figured this would stop the crap from coming out of the seam and make for maybe a prettier weld. As usual, I figured wrong. I persevered and did the whole seam though. It’s ugly as hell, but it can be ground down nice and pretty fairly easy
Once I dress those welds I’ll be able to see areas that might need some touch up welds.
It’s disappointing in a way not being able to figure this pinch weld area out. But it’s great to have it over with.
So, here’s what’s coming. Tomorrow night I’ll be dressing those welds. I’m not sure if it’ll all be done tomorrow night or not. Right now I’m planning for two nights of clean up. Then paint Friday and on to the rear end for the weekend.
