Hey Joe, since I know sh*t from Shinola about cages, how do you weld all the way around the tube in tight areas like inside the dash and so on? Ford Motorsport Nationals coming back to Maple Grove? When? I use to go. Always seemed to be a million degrees during the event. I'd like to go back.

As far as getting all the way around the tube, just go as far and as best as you can. If you can't get all the way around put a gusset in the corner. At least that is what I told...
The Ford Motorsport Nats is now a Fun Ford Event, going to be August 18-19 2012...Still gonna be hot!
We will be there, let me know if your coming down...

And here's the bad...
Coming home from the track two weekends ago, the tray on my trailer door pit pal rack dropped open and dented and gouged the shit outta the fender. Needless to say I was pretty sick to my stomach. We are entered in the York Muscle Car Madness show in two weeks!
So it's off to the body shop after this weekends race. Glenn from Paintin' Place says it will be ready for next weekend...fingers crossed.
