Default Re: Replicating Factory Spot Weld Appearance

[ QUOTE ]
After spot welding new NOS quarter panels on one of the Camaros we had at legend judging with a 15K tower spot welder, one of the judges did not like a few of the accurate reproduced assembly line style welds. He claimed a few were not as "round" as he would like to see. He then told us about recreating the welds with a No.2 pencil. That way the fake welds would look more consistant. Any idea now many No.2s' you can buy for 15K?...What were we thinking?...BKH

This why I could care less about ever having a car judged !
To much ego looking at way over restored car's ( I think over restored car's are a good thing by the way)and making Judging decisions based on what "they" think.
These spot welds are the perfect example of that, There not going to be uniform !
There I said it ! Now....Let the fun begin !
