Agreed - what I did was to get in from either side as best I could, but don't go much further than that. The first time, I turned up the
arc/gas/wire speed, and burned a hole through the tubing in about the most inaccessible place on the frame, inside the vee. THAT, I had to fix.
I've looked at several other frames, some didn't even bother with the inside angles, others just got in from either side as best they
could.

You'll find with a slightly squashed shroud, a few more amps, touch more gas and a practice run on some scrap set to the same angle so you can
predict where the wire will go (as it never goes in a straight line on hobby welders! ) you'll weld it as-is with no problems.
There's no right or wrong solution, but that one will work and I'd rather weld all round, and would never go near a weld with sealant.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
