Just a question about the silicon bronze. I've seen this used before and have done a little research. Are you just using this on the parts that you don't deem structural? It sure makes pretty looking welds. I thought I had read somewhere that it makes a weaker weld and shouldn't be used on structural joints.

I'm just curious - trying to learn.

I like the clearance modifications for the exhaust. You can tell that you've been down that road before with a Camaro. It's always nice to have those previous experiences to draw on.

Correct. Non structural- sheetmetal. Like you would not want to use it for welding the subframe to the subframe conectors or welding together a roll cage
