Hope you closed your eyes for that pic

You could have done it, but it takes practice to weld stuff that thin without melting it, or getting cold lap (not bonded)

He's not a welder, but he's done a ton of bodywork on his 1965 Ford F100. That sheet steel is THIN. His welder isn't anything fancy, it's old, but it does the trick. It just has high, low, and wire feed speed. Watching him do it, I think I would have had a tough time. I did some grinding though.

I focused the camera when he wasn't welding, looked away, then snapped it when I saw the weld flash. SMRT.

The sump looked a lot better on my first attempt, now I have a silicone mess. I'll get it finished up tomorrow. I guess the water test will have to wait for Monday.
