[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 503664, member: 16767"] I welded the cracks at the forward corners of the tunnel section. The cracks were mostly running parallel to the welds, close to the factory welds. After I finished the cracked corners, I was planning on welding the cracks adjacent to non factory welds that are on the tunnel walls, on each side. These cracks are very close to the welds also. I was hoping to finish the welding on the hull exterior yesterday, and I would have most likely until I ran out of argon. I will to be more attentive to the total PSI in my bottles. Running out of gas on a Sunday is a show stopper. I’m not sure why the additional welds were completed, but I suspect a previous owner was trying to fix the floor flexing. I will discuss this more, I have my suspicions but I am definitely not sure why these additional welds are there. [/QUOTE]
