I have a little bow in the body line (at magicmarker lines and waves in the welded area (I have to remember tack skip 4 inches tack again:violent1:) that I want to straighten out before I get too crazy on the grind and weld process but it looks pretty good (nice penetration on the welds and nothing a little hammer and dolly work won't fix. )
