Drew,
As far as I know, he did not weld anything. It does appear it is, but that may be some type of filler or/ with paint that he did.
He only had to trim or grind a small area for rack. I am going to get more pics when I return from vacation. I want to do this setup as well, assuming he lets me drive his! Want to feel the difference in steering. Much safer I would imagine.
