True that! I'm getting there. I like the idea of the weld through primer. Do you think that will adequately seal the inside of the strut? I was always told primer doesn't really seal - just provides "tooth" for the top coat to adhere to. I suppose anything is better than nothing. I'll cover anything exposed with good paint + undercoat. How about painting the box part of the strut - masking off the flanges for the weld - and using the weld through primer on the flanges?
I'm not ready to start welding yet, but am getting closer to the plan.
Thanks for your help.
