I was going to weld them myself , but I was at a friends using his welder & he told me " I will make it look just like factory " I replied with " I sure hope not , I was thinking of doing the welds a lot better than factory "... we both had a good laugh , we neded up re-enforcing all of the welds & adding 2 gussets to stiffen it even more , off to get powder coated now . We also plated the bottom of the LCAs while we were at it
