The seams make it easier to piece together (repairs) but a solid piece will work as well.

The thinner/smaller wire will work better on the thinner metal. Play around w/some scrap old stuff & do the same on replacement/re-pop stuff when possible. It seems I tend to blow through replacement panels easier on the same settings where older sheet-metal survives the process.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
