While looking at my old welds on this exhaust I wasn't really happy with them. I spent some time playing with a few scrap pieces using different cups, settings, and filler rod diameters. I think it was worth the time spent.
Vbands so I can remove the muffler if needed.
Everything back purged of course
I might go back and redo some of my uglier welds.
Then I stripped down the inside of my tailgate so I can get some primer on it before it rusted. Its a bit to beat up for me to try to fix all the dents. I'll figure something out later.
