I got some more work done on the car today.

Started by converting my multi-process welder over to MIG since you can never really get all the seems clean enough for TIG when welding to the chassis.



I had to use a little CAD to make up this piece to re-strengthen the location of the front upper control arm mount.

This is after welding the small piece in and cleaning up my welds with the grinder.



Then I just went ahead and welded the mounts into the chassis. My MIG welding skills are not great and the majority of the welds look like pigeon poo but I am confident they are plenty strong enough as I usually run it a little hot.



After some minor cleanup with the grinder I gave them a coat of cold-gal.



So one side is now complete and I need to spin the whole shell around to do the other side.
