Only asking because i want to learn to evaluate what im looking at. I weld ok (far from great!!) and love to learn about it and this just looked like what i wrote to me.... Maybe its the picture, maybe its ok too!!!
To me it looks like i could wack it off and seperate them if i got at it motivated... So i tought about the pressure of the roadworks.
Thanks for the info
, and awesome job on that build!

As someone who is a red seal certified fabricator there is nothing wrong with that weld. Yes it looks like a bunch of tack welds stacked,which I'm positive it is. If you tack and don't let the metal cool beyond "the orange state "as it cools then move and hit it again you will achieve a good strong weld. Although a horizontal weld is ideal sometimes you have no choice but to weld out of position. This is one way of doing it.
Cheers
Keep up the good work HPI
