uhh you think that's going to hold? You didn't even get it welded completely through.

the pics actually are very deceiving.. i actually got very good penetration in my welds, so yes i do trust them to hold in my motor.

anyways i clearanced the passenger side frame rail to clear the turbo. im happy with how it turned out.
