Is this the ugliest factory weld ever?

[DynaBro]

What am I even looking at here? I’m genuinely confused. Some sort of tumor?

It’s a body goo glue looks like. I find it on my trunk lids to keep them quiet.

Why do you think it would be here?

I'd say that's a blob of factory sealer stuff

 

[DynaBro]

So I should leave it be? I just want to get the car looking nice and tight under the hood this winter. Tackling that mess of wiring comes first though.

Thinking as a sealer. I’ve seen it there before they just seemed to use quite a bit more on your car.

These cars were never built as kindigit cars.
Chevys and ford's never even got real paint in the engine bays ffs

Sean sealer
Not a weld
Leave it alone.

Seam sealer, it's epic quality control.

if you pop that out you are going to have a huge nasty black spot under it that you will never match with the rest of the bay... plus it's stock and you will lose points at concours with it gone..

^^^^ agreed. It was painted over. There is no red paint under it. If that bothers you now, imagine a spot of primer, or bare metal there instead.

Look at your k frame for the worst possible welds.

The looks of a weld are secondary to the quality of the weld. An ugly weld that's good, is preferable to a pretty weld that's bad.

Around here we call it Dum-dum ( with all due respect to the usual suspects ).
