Re: 3+ years in the making

notches welded in today... most of the welds are pretty nice.. few are poopy lookin.. notches are welded inside and out where ever it was possible to weld in the notch i did.

for the **** of it the outside notch got a big old plug weld.. just a lil extra strength



these are what most of the nice welds look like
