thanks, the factory k-members are like painted with overspray it seems i had mine blasted and powdercoated in black .i thought there would be more contrast with the cyber gray paint.i like the aftermarket stuff but my build isn't about saving weight or massive amount of horsepower,this has been done alot mine is simply a nice driver with modern comfort features.
aimmotorsports did a great job on his!... he could probably hook you up.
the welding of the holes and seems are great experience for someone who hasnt welded much.scotts fab has steel plates that are countured to fit andweld in,these cover alot of holes and make it alot quicker
lol...gotta laugh when u see a welded up bay as it looks so complete and not all shot up....I'd like to have heard the orders each year...."Hey Bob....add another hole in the program here for this..."
Some of us can make power withOUT additives.
whats the technique for welding up the small holes? Im a welding newb. Have a Tig welder, but never had to weld anything up or painted, only bare, metal to metal joining.

Small holes you can do by welding a small bead around the perimeter of the hole, then doing the same along the new perimeter you just created. Basically like "coloring it in" from the outside inward.
For the large ones, get some sheet metal, cut out a piece to fit inside the open hole, tack weld it in place, then give it a bead around the perimeter.
