Hiya, Clarke! How's Things?
*Many* of us are better with grinder than welder! I've seen some guys' work that looks pretty good in the end, but they were Really good with the grinder and removed ALL the bird-poop spatter before the piece ever saw the light of day.

I'm thinking there's too much turmoil and uncertainty in the world right now for a lot of people, and/or their Jags are running Purrrfectly and they have no issues so many don't come here as often as when we joined. And, cars the age of ours are just plain getting scarce in the wild. All the Xj6s and Xj-40s I used to see Pre-Covid have disappeared. I see an x-300 or x350 once in a while, but very rarely. Even the X-types are scarce.
