    Two questions

    Different welds People think mig is the easiest cause you just pull a trigger but just understand that mig will lay down a weld with out proper penitration so with practice on adjusting proper settings and hand movement you can drop some nice welds pretty easy .

    Two questions

    Welds I have welded for a living and am certified for mig and tig light gauge metal and went thru the whole corse on stick welding .

    Motor and transmission angles

    Small foot my understanding is if the pinion angle is at 2 1/2 down I can just put the pinion angle of the rear end at 2 1/2 up making them basically parallel right and there won't be any vibrations . I have a triangulated four link in the rear that is tacked in that I can adjust the angle...

So the question is what problems will I have if I let it sit right where it is and make the motor mounts? The...
