Brackets are welded off. This is my first Tig Weld Project so far on this car with the New/Used Tig Welder I bought a few weeks ago. I tell you what, you need to be patient when Tig Welding. It is not FAST like a Mig. Also you can't get into places that a MIG can get into. Hand feeding the ROD is sometimes impossible in a cramped area.
I did have to MIG Weld the inside of these brackets, there was no way to get the Tig in there.
