What's that second pic there Nick? Axle tube?

They definitely had the heat turned up in that first pic. Shame they didn't hit the seam.

yes that was a rear hsg. they blew through putting on the shock mounts. that is some serious amperage and you can see they are pushing at least some .045 wire.

hey!, that drunk monkey welded my frame too! I re tiged every weld on my frame, probably not necessary, but it sure looks nice

On a similar note, what about the seam sealer on the body? Some of the seams look like the sealer had set up for a day before they stuffed it into the seams. I have a tailgate that looks like they stuffed a wad of lumpy chewing gum in there before painting. In fact I have a bunch of seams that look like that.
