    My first time welding and patching...

    it looks like you need to do a little more surface prep before you start welding. just sand/grind/wire brush the area to bare metal.

    shell weight?

    that's perfect. Weighing only 4-500 lbs should allow me to build a cheap wooden rotisserie.

    are you using a brake booster? if so make sure the push rod inside of it is adjusted properly so that it almost makes contact with the MC.

    How to Pick a Modern Suspension?

    the TCI is a mustang II type front suspension. run a search on it as there are many opinions on the subject. Once you put a MII front suspension on, it's a lot harder to go back to stock components if you're worried about that. Suspensions are easy, If you can turn a wrench you can replace...

    GT-350 Rocker Stripes on a Coupe

    I like the stripe, just not the "GT 350" part. If it just said "GT" I'd be more for it.
