I typically don't weld like that---I needed some penetration with little heat as possable---quick pass. Laying dimes is another term I have heard. But I think you typically get that with tig..

If you need a strong weld with less heat soaking than MIG then swap out the gas for 2% oxygen increase the feed (max it out basically) and spray arc it.

Spray arc burns hotter than MIG but it's a very fast welding process used in production environments alot. As it burns hotter and faster you do not have the dwell time in any one spot too long so even though it burns hotter the heat affected area is less than standard MIG or TIG. Currie uses this process on their axle housing, quicker welds, good penetration and less axle warp.

Ok here are some updates. I was hoping to get farther today but it was a busy day with people visiting (not that I mind any) and also I had some more thought time,lol...

Well here is the start of the back.

So I origionally was going to cut out the rocker and use some square tubing. But I decided to take a different aproach this time---life is boring not using the imagination :;

::whistles softly while looking around innocently:: Actually, it was great visiting 'The Shop', and it was a professional visit. It really was.... Mike, tell them!

Thanks Mike. I do believe your idea will work on the bike. Like I said, if it doesn't, there's always the spare set.
