07 -- Shows the whole thing all tacked up, but you may notice that the gap on the horiz section at top is UGLY, there are two reasons for
this: ( 1)The width of the saw cut. ( 2)The lower body lines are not parallel to the upper, so as the pieces are slid into their new positions, their orientation to the upper portion of the QP changes. *This is the one thing I would do differently next time !! On the next go-around, I would trim the two lower pieces back a half-inch or so (on the horizontal), and then I would weld a 1" strip on and planish the weld before trimming the pieces for a zero-gap fit to the upper portion of the QP, this way would have been MUCH faster than fooling around filling all those gaps between tacks, and would have made for a nicer finished product to boot!! |
