Default Welding Panels

Well I tried welding the 2 panels together and did not bad.
I TIG weld by trade, so that is not an issue. Going about it the right way with the stretching of the welds to get the shape back and trying to metal finish smoothly is new to me.

anyway....pics.....

Marked with the pattern for trimming...





Tacked together.....






A few 1" welds....







Penetration on the back side. The peening marks from stretching the previous welds showing....









You can see the weld line. The filler rod is slightly different color...









Still needs metal finished but I'll do it later...










Thanks for looking,
