......Not The Best Job I Know, It's Quite Hard To Weld & Work With Half Rusted Sheet Metal (That Being All The Bellett's Metal) But Dad's Step Idea Helped Dissipate A-Lot Of The Heat & Most Of The Welds Were Fused Correct From What I Can See But I Can Also See A-Lot Of Bad Welds (More So After The Clean Up) & A Need To Go Back Over It Again Haunts My Mind......
