Re: 71 Step novice build

Worked on the A and B pillars this week.
With all the bends and angles on the A pillar it's a little tough to line up correctly.
It seems to have worked out but I might have to massage the rocker a little.
Here's the A pillar complete.


Then I got working on the B pillar. This one is a little easier.
I clamped it in the end of the rocker first and made sure it fit inside, then I marked it and lined it up on the old pillar.
My welds are getting a little better. I turned the power up 1 notch and it's penetrating better.
B pillar before.

And after.


Here's the A pillar with the rocker clamped in place.


And the B pillar with the rocker clamped in place.
