Ya they are perfect, just dont do one solid weld all the way around non stop, weld a few inches skip a few weld a few.
No pulse just straight tig, make sure you weld them good and hot! And spend lots of time on fit up, if you dont get it right it wont look right! If your stuck I band alloys for people!

Soooo, I haven't updated this for a while. Iv got a few bits done since the last update!


I made a BGW.



Refinished my wheels



Mocked up a few bits of bodywork




Started to make the car fatter



And made a basic shape of a front bumper




Slowly but surely getting somewhere with the body work!

Be back with more updates when they happen!
