Overhead welding is hard, I turn down my wire speed a little and speed up the welding, gravity sure doesn't help when the weld puddle tries to drip and hang's and look's terrible.

well ive been fighting off a cold and i havent had much motivation to get alot done but i at least want him to have the option to take it to tex mex. but we will see i dont wanna rush anything. pics are uploading i got the nex x member made and raised the rear of the gas tank 1 inch. basicly just mapped out the rear and set the axle in place and that sorta thing. the x member has more gussents on it now. and i had to make 10 45 degree cuts with my high speed to make the x member but it worked out good.
