Does this aluminum weld look like a dirt dobber??
I had this oil filer/fitting welded on by a buddy that owns a sheet-metal shop..I told him I wanted it to look like the rest of the welds on the valve cover or better, Like stacking Dimes,that I was going to polish them..
It looks ruff to me, what do you all think???

Oh yea do not buy Moroso fab valve covers they have gone way down in quality,they dont/want even lay flat,buy the cheap imports and save 200.00

A straight line is a lot easy to make purdy then trying to weld in a circle. Where it looks like boogers is where he started and stopped changing position going around the tube. It's hard to start an aluminum weld "hot" to melt in. It's not the best, but not bad either. Aviation welder would probably have made it look nicer, but...? Finish it off a little bit and polish the crap out of it!

yea its car, The moroso sux, not much i can do with it, i didnt catch the OSO part, thats pretty good, hopefully it will polish out and blend in better
one thing is why is the weld so wide. the cover is prob .60 thick and the lip on the tube is prob .125,
Thanks
Rob
if i weld up the mororso,sand back down, prob make a bigger mess
