Any right or wrong way to weld the axle tubes to the pumpkin ??? I have seen some weld all the way around , others 3 places... Some says they don't need it at all....

Back when I looked into it, some places recommend to get them straighten 1st but others just stitch-weld them up on the car. I also rem some argument made about the metals of the pig vs tubes.
I have an 8.8 that wolfe welded up for a buddy of mines car. I know the guy that welded it, and have seen his mig and his tig stuff. it looks like he tig'd it to me.
I used a mig. Left center and axles in to hold everything in place. Welded it 360, then 2" long weaves verted centered on the front and back of tubes. Always worked for me so i stuck with it.
I put 4 small welds around each tube then stitch up one side then jump to the other. No preheat and never a problem ...yet!
I use to mig them but now I use a TIG, and you WILL need to straighten it when done. The rear isn't straight now, and it will potentially be worse after the welding. After the work, do yourself a favor and brace it.
