I thought i would share these with you !!!
I had a chassis bought to me a while ago and was asked if these welds were ok as they look a little uneven
I'm going to grind them out and reweld them all, I like a challenge
I'm not sure if it was Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder that was weilding the torch !!!
My personal favourite is the last pic

Did you ask to see anything else he practiced on!!!
The second weld looks like he was trying to weld upward in stead of down.
HE! HE! HE!

at least the welds held long enough for it to rust.

Some time when you go to a fair size car show, crawl under some of the home built, kinda rough cars and you will be surprised at the spit, baling wire assembly and welds holding them together. I'm a mediocre welder at best, but when I bought my little mig, I took a course at the local welding school. Six evenings over 3 weeks - a half hour of classroom, 2-1/2 hours of burning wire.Dave W

I recently had a guy bring his car around as his rear shock mount had broke, while i was underneath i noticed that the brake pipe wasnt secured to the frame rail, on further inspection i could see why not, the brake line to the rear had no flexible in it It was all hardline so they left it unclipped to allow for movement
Another one i see a lot is cheap bolts in suspension arms, they are usually bent but i did see one car that had been assembeled with studding and a nut on either end
