I got the "speed" tacking down.I can run a flat seam like that in about a minute.
When it come to my Baby though, this is where I take my time.
When I'm done tacking as you mentioned, the tacks are almost perfect.
Of course they still need to be planished slightly before welding to have both sides dead flush.

I used a Sharpie to draw a line on the panels shown. I had passed a grinder across any lumpy tacks and the seam blended right in making it almost impossible for the old eyes to see. Same idea as scribing it.


That pen is kinda neat after I see the little wheely thing.

We're about on the same page her, except I'll use filler rod every time.

Thanks,
