that the welds held up well...
But, we all know what "assume" means.
Fk knows what i did to include all the pictures in my reply. Im new here >_< haha! Was looking through some of the pictures and christ almighty
some of the welds dont look the best and some are porous. If i went into work tomorrow morning and welded like that, i probably wouldnt have a job to
go back to in the new year lol. Very good welder doesn't stand for nout if youre not certified or if you can run a straight bead. Just saying.
If the car has been driven moderately should be ok, but doubtful..... Make an ass out of u and me  assume lol

Digging up a ten year old thread to trash talk someone's work just makes you look like a bell end. All I see in the pictures is a lot of tack
welds, that Steve is saying got finished properly.

Double Err... now!!
You are obviously an amazing car builder, and I shan't bother to correct you in any way. Especially as, I "assume", you will not learn
or appreciate it...
But - don't twist my words to suit your own pathetic agenda - I did not say the car had been "driven moderately", and you
don't need to be doubtful about this. This car was tracked and competed with for years and years, by several owners (including someone who had no
clue about how a BEC performs and a bike gearbox {without slipper clutch} actually works). Everything (engine, diff, wishbones, etc., etc.) was all
solid mounted or rose jointed - i.e. that chassis and it's components were truly tested and pushed hard.
Lastly, there's not much point saying "you're new here" and then trying to pull apart someone's work (especially when
they've explained that none of the full welds you can see were left as they were, and the whole chassis was welded by someone else who has been
welding at a very high / professional level for probably longer than you've been alive). So, if I were you, I'd wind you're neck in and
try and be a bit more constructive if you need to convey negative thoughts...
