Dan - Bill Funk knows the pinch weld seam problems, and what to do if "perfection" is your goal. (it is a lot of work, BTW.)



Bill - Yes, agreed - making a production item into something hand-built requires planning and detailed execution, and understanding what the production construction elements represent, along with ways to alleviate them.
p.s -The "quote" thing is simply avoiding any rework on the section within brackets [QUOTE 123456 &whatever] and allowing it to lead your comment, intact.


Reno - Yes, practicing on spare parts is lots better than practicing on customer parts - but indeed - PRACTICE first.
