A TIG bead is easier to clean up than a MIG bead - but if you're not building a RIDLER car - who cares..

The key to either is not to make a cold weld with little or no penetration. I see many welds done and shown on this website that I wouldn't want to drive or ride in the car... and any experienced welder can see what I'm talking about.

Here here finally someone else says it. I've thought that for years and seen lots of questionable welds on here and pro-touring.com now it's just because I fab and weld all day for work. so yes I'm picky but still can't agree more Greg

Brakes are done and bled. Clutch is bled...what a pain. I overlooked the fact that the slaves bleeder was up in the tunnel. I had to fab a wrench to even get to it, and then I couldn't get my bleeder tool on it, so had to do it old school. Put fuel tank back in next, and car will be a radiator away from moving under its own power.

I decided to put my clutch master here, instead of going with the "kit" that everybody runs. It was tricky, as it just misses my fuse block under the dash, yet is just below the cowl under the dash also. The angle it's at is no problem, as there will always be plenty of fluid in the reservoir. I've done one like this in the past with no problems, and yep, the fender will fit with no problems also.

Finally, pictures. That is always the best way to post. Everything is looking good. Kind of confused on the slave, but hey, if it is working then run it.

Love how everything is tucked up above the bottom of the frame. Great job. Can't wait to see the vids of it running, and painted, and running.

Thanks GregWeld and Trey again for the advise. I have a Millermatic 110v and at my skill level i can already understand what a nonpenetrated weld looks like. That gives me more confidence. New pics look sweet Trey.
