I see. Was just curious. I love welding and my OCD is raging at these welds lmao. I'm all about perfect, clean circles.

I hear ya. There's nothing sexier than pretty fabrication.

Where it matters, I do take the time to make it pretty.

Here's some of my better work. And to add difficulty, this is aluminum, done on a Miller Tig. From my 240z build

TIG does lay a lot flatter, nicer welds. MIG can actually be pretty difficult to get a nice, clean, splatter free, flat weld.









I'm pretty meticulous, but only on things that matter.

More random body work today...Some dents, some wet sanding, some filling, the works. Even a little stud welder action.

Working my way around the car, assessing and fixing appropriate areas.

My goal is to bring at least one panel into work tomorrow to spray once the day is over.

Waiting for filler to cure, then I'll head out and continue the process.

Body work continued this evening a little bit. Nothing major. I spent only a couple minutes out there.

Proceeded to begin stripping the body one last time.

Once again, tail lights out, bumper off..



and a little primer.




It's the weekend. That means a couple solid days of work. Hopefully I make leaps and bounds.

Mid day update: More body work. I know some of the pictures pretty much look the same, but I assure you, lots of little stuff is happening. The rear (the worst offender) is getting much straighter. Still needs a little bit, but it's close.

Also, we just purchased a Moth (foiling sailboat) today!!!!








I'm so excited I can barely sit still!


Drinking a celebratory Corona, and heading back out to sand some more.
