Milt,,, "sometimes" asking the question is not the right course of action!!!!
It may have never come up, but now it will,,,, If asked what the seam is doing there,,, "tell the truth",,, you gutted the cans and put them back together,,, stock size, stock appearance,,,, all OK.. I would have ground the welds down and painted,, but then again I am more about good looks than some others are LOL
See you in a few weeks.
