16. Now weld up the closeouts. Either do it yourself or leave that trail of mixed nuts to the six pack next to the welder for your buddy (dont WUI thou):
A comment on my welding. In the class I took I was decent at running a bead on a bench, but welding in the conditions for mini-tubbing is a complete different story. I am picky when it comes to my car and the work I do. So I had to grind down my welds a few times until I got what I considered acceptable looking welds. They still aren't what I would consider good, but this is all going to be painted anyways.
17. Now drill holes in the tubs for the spot welds. Draw the lines on the front back like in the DSE Video:
18. Mock it all up. Use the C-Clamps to get everything nice and tight. You want ZERO (0) gaps if possible:
You probably going to need a buddy help you an push down on the edges when you are ready to tack.
