I've only done a few of the roof to drip rail welds.
It's no problem to weld them from underneath, but I'm gonna do the rest of them when the car is back on the rotisserie and upside down.

I had read that this (drilling the drip rail for welding to the roof skin) was recommended by AMD, and it makes sense, as there is more meat around the drip rail plug weld holes, and nothing to grind flat once you're done either.

Cheers!

Hey Aaron, car looks great!  Coming along nicely.  Just wanted to say thanks for helping me out a while back in regards to rear rims and backspacing.  When seeing your rear tires and setup, I knew that's the exact look I was going for but wasn't too sure on the backspacing.  You suggested 6 to 6.5 with some info that I gave you and sure enough, 6.5" was it!  Rims and tires fit perfect.   

Thanks again! :cheers:

Hi Aaron :wave: ,

`Cuda is coming along nicely mate. Looks tuff, and it has been on a diet, real racey look.
