I have always been curious about what you guys do about the heat deformity after all the welding has been done. Is it neglegible with the MIG welds?

Almost finished sanding and repaininting the seat brackets. Almost finished putting all the new CCOT seat covers on. I actually had my wife sanding stuff down with me. I am waiting for a few odd sized stainless steel bolts from Fastenal. I found something that was not metric on my 40. The seatbelt bolts are standard.

Primed the 40 last night....assuming the weather cooperates V8 and four speed ext week.

Ehsan- I am planning on a bit of bondo (filler). This is not a restoration.

Installed the charcoal canister, a Marks Offroad rebuilt carb, and the Classic Cruisers seat bracket extension kit. Now chasing down some fuel leaks and a total electrical failure (I think I cooked something in the harness)

Sounds like it may be time for a house call.

I just unpacked my rear disc rotors and brackets from POSER. Very impressed by the quality of the brackets. Now I know what everyone on here is talking about. Highly Recomend!!!! Now Im ready to put in my Aussie and rear discs. Pics to follow when Im done.

Got em on yet?

Weld a little bit here and there, let it cool down all the way and then weld some more. Repeat how ever long it takes. Welding all at one time will cause huge problems. Use bondo and then build up primer to smooth it out.
