Jim, you’re getting pretty good at that sheet metal stuff!!
I have seen much worse from so-called "professionals" Your effort at trying to do things right is inspirational to many, and the job you're doing on this is way past "reasonable", IMO.Be honest guys. You are professionals and I am a hack. With the tool I have are you just being polite or am I doing a reasonable job on this. At times I feel like I am just making stuff up.
Thanks King.I have seen much worse from so-called "professionals" Your effort at trying to do things right is inspirational to many, and the job you're doing on this is way past "reasonable", IMO.
It looks like there are some waves left in your concave weld, last chance to fix before welding on the quarter. I would make a "dolly" out of some solid round rod stock, about 2" diameter or so (whatever size fits the smaller radius best), and round off the ends to remove sharp edges. Now with a loose quarter, use round rod dolly on outside and flat body hammer on inside to stretch out the weld until your waves are gone. It should save you a bunch of that filler.
Jim, I would say you are far from a hack. You considered advice in hopes of getting a much better job and have done well in executing. What you've done thus far (from someone who claims not to have done this type work) is far better than some "professional" work I've seen. Time to add on to the garage.
Sorry to ask for what may be obvious, but what weld is Robert referring to? The concave weld? Would someone be kind enough to provide the post # and the photograph number in that post just so I can try to figure out what needs more work and how I can try to see what that is looking at a pic?
Thanks so much!
