Is this the stuff your painting the underneath with then? How much do you reckon you need to buy? I was thinking about using hammerite, is this stuff better?

You're welding looks good buddy, especially for your 1st time. It's always difficult welding on a car - nothing like welding new metal. Best way I found was cutting the new arches to size then marking them on the car, is that what you've done? When your putting new ones on take your time and put small tacks all the way around and make sure there is as little gaps as possible! Spread your welding out and keep it cool. Oh and remove any foam thats inside as it will catch fire

yeah i marked where the outer arch sits and lines up with the lines of the car then just went round the edge with perm marker then cut just underneath the line so i had room for error lol
