This is prior to welding. It took several vises and clamps at various places and often repositioning to get this in right. In fact, I had to trim off about 1/8" from the lower most bottom piece that buts to the longitudinal seem or else it would have never fit right. It took a bit of hammering too.

After doing a couple of crappy welds, I remembered some 914club members saying how much an auto-darkening helmet helped them. I decided to go out and find one. I finally found a Lincoln for $127 at Lowes, that was the cheapest I could find one for. I cannot overstate how much it helped. My hand is not as steady, and I need both hands to keep the gun to start where I want it. With the auto-dark helmet, I could weld exactly where I wanted to. The weld shown at the top is without the auto-dark helmet, and the one below is with it.
