i see you guys liked those welds lol! j/k i have no formal training and it was good practice...so oh well..its hidden now.

cut the rocker to fit what i cut out already. i recommend not begin a cheap ass and cough up the money for some power cutters. that hand cutter liked to killed me, but hey i saved a whole 25 bucks. afterwards....i would have gladly paid the 25.

one thing about the hand cutters though, they were thinner so i could cut closer to bends, unlike a power one.

i remembered Kev taking his pieces up in multiple places, so i did that and then tried to make my weld better then in the inside ones.

started grinding on the front and lost energy.

i think its actually decent looking so far. i'm guessing the gap where the fender will meet up will be not so good, but oh well, it'll match the rest of the cars rugged good looks.

saved tons of money and gained some experience. worth it even if it isn't perfect.

the only thing i would have changed....move the can of brake cleaner while welding.....idiot move there.
