    Damn! Putting in some serious work man, can't wait to see the finished product! I don't know if I would have the patience to do all that grinding. Props to you! Repped your post

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Spaz again.

    I'm a big fan of stitch welding strut tower walls. Then smoothing them down. Have had a few locals do that as well as Chris at CRSX is doing it on the shop builds. But to make it completely seamless you HAVE to do some type of welding so you don't sacrifice structural integrity. And if you get too overkill with welding it's easy to warp some metal and never have a perfectly straight front end.

    yeah my buddy Phillip and I have been trying to figure out how to smooth all the seams...all my research and digging keeps coming up with stitch welding and fill in the spaces with filler and shave that down...

    ^ Based on people I've spoken to, seems that's the best way. It's a tough area to get down right.

    Great job so far, stay on that productivity grind

    So my buddy Phillip came down and we went to town on the bay last night. As I said we focused on filling the bigger holes.



    cleaning metal to weld up


    Testing fit


    Tac in place


    Weld


    and walla


    same thing with the old brake line holes


    but placed the metal in the back side





    The ultimate hole filled.....


    traced out our pattern


    cut it out


    start welding it in



    then started sanding it down



    Then Phillip started some filler







    also started welding and smoothing the motor mount



    Not going to work on it tonight... but I'll keep cleaning up tomorrow
