Re: off it goes

What is your technique for grinding/sanding once you have done your welding? It's like you poured the metal out and molded it.

Very clean, wish I had the time and skill to finish my under hood of my SquareBody like that....

Re: off it goes

green 3M bristle disc, it cleans the metal, but doesn't remove metal, it also smooths out your grinding scratches

What do you use or how do you get your welds down to that point though to avoid low spots etc?

Re: off it goes

the sheet metal work alone on this build is amazing, the radiator cover, hood latch portion is very nice, I like the way it contours around the overflow

Re: off it goes

This is probably the 10th time I've said this but that work is amazing. I've only seen a select few people in the world that can fab like that guy. Your big rigs are cool too, or well the ones you work on.
