home sharktooth grill

Well, I finished welding all the teeth together. I like TIG welding, but "stacked dimes"? More like smushed peas. So I decided to see if there was some kind of body filler type stuff that could take the heat of powder coating...And there is, it's USC All Metal. Pretty easy to use, just like the other kinds of filler out there and I was able to smooth out and blend in the areas that were welded.

Just cause I'm curious, could you have drilled holes top and bottom and fillet welded the "teeth" in leaving the front clean? Or weld them from behind? Looks awesome either way I just wonder if it would have worked the other way.
