As far as the offset inserts go we used a step die in our pullmax machine to acheive this. I will post pics of both once I am back at work.

I made an engine cover out of aluminum. I have welded it before just not to to the extent of what I was doing. Welding both sides is pretty much a must. I really wish i had a pullmax....

This looks amazing btw...it does.
