Good deal. Thanks guys, and my apologies for that.

I can see them fine D! Another simple mod out of the box 'o' tricks.

Gotta keep them rust bugs at bay, they are mean little creatures no doubt 😀!!! My cutlass has started to show some of em since it was put outside(albeit covered) since just after turkey day...more sanding time in the future before paint yay !

Yeah, that sucks Scott. I can sympathize for sure. My bare metal frame has surface rust in spots as does some exposed sheet metal areas that I haven't finished working with.
And that's in a heated, consistent temperature garage!

At least you can just make your body guy fix it, I'd do the same except I'M my body guy!

Sometimes the simple solutions are the best. I think it works and looks great.

Do you use TIG or MIG?

Thanks Opie.
I think in this instance the "KISS" principle needs to apply, "Keep It SIMPLE, Stupid!
No need for it to be overly complicated, it just has to do the job.

As of right now, the budget only allows for MIG. I've had my little Miller 140 for several years now, and it's been a great machine.

I taught myself how to weld in my early 20's (I'll be 44 this year), and on sheetmetal of all things!
Needless to say, much sheetmetal was warped before I learned the process and what the hell I was doing. Welding on heavier material is cake in comparison.

I would love nothing more than to someday afford and learn to master the art of TIG welding. Both the knowledge base and the materials needed for all the different metal and alloy types are quite substantial, but it's one of those skills that if you really know what you're doing and you're good at it, the sky's the limit.

But for now, I'll have to continue with making due with my MIG, and contracting out the stuff that absolutely has to be TIG'd like stainless and aluminum.

Your MIG work looks good. Kinda hard to tell from TIG in the pic.
