I really don't have the time, that is why this is taking me so damn long.

I did get some more done last night, filled some more holes.

this is about done


still ruff but it should be fine. I only left the holes that are for the head lights rest are filled


mad a metal plug. This was a bitch:





That's all I could do for now, my welder would not stop jamming on me.

A little bondo (for the ruff edges) Sorry bad pic.


And the finished product:




I still have a little more to do, on top of the head lights and some other little holes I don't need.

No man, my welder is a cheep one. Flux core, you can do all this. It really don't take as much money as you would think when your doing it your self. I can say you will need more patience then money lol

Using a filter, and draining the tank before I use it. This way the air don't have water in it yet and the little it may have will get caught up in the filter. I also have a filter at the gun.................
My choice of gun.
