Just doing it is what matters, every weld you lay down makes you a better welder. there is no short cut to experience. I was thinking that the grinding step was seeming to introduce a LOT of heat. But other than that, I didn't see anything really wrong with what you were doing brother! Great Job!

@VWJawbreaker Жыл бұрын

This car has been one big learning experience. I’ve always been decent at welding thicker material but sheet metal is a different animal all together. I have learned to ease up on the grinding, pretty sure it caused some decent warpage on a few panels.

@fieldcars3301 3 жыл бұрын

doing the plug welds all in one motion is correct and looked good the open butt weld would have turned out much better if you cooled the welds after each pass same as grinding that generates a lot of heat so you can't hit it until it turns blue lol We have the same problem I think, we set goals (I want to do this side at least today) and then we push to hit the goal Slow down just a bit and you'll come out ahead in the end

It’s a learning curve for sure. I start off with the correct mind set and then I get into a groove and everything I told myself in the beginning goes right out of my head lol I have plenty of practice ahead of me on this body, hopefully I’ll be better as I continue on. Thank you for the pointers!

Good job Gary! It is very difficult to avoid overheating such thin sheet metal. My dad was telling me about a clay that some people use when doing body panel replacement. It helps to draw the heat to the clay rather than through the metal. I have also seen people use a wet rag and hold it near the area where they are tacking. And resoaking the rag in bucket of cold water between tacks.

It is looking great, Wherever possible, I usually clamp a block of copper behind what I'm tacking, it works as a heat sink and the weld doesn't stick to it. I use a wet rag to cool down where I have just welded also. I'm definitely no pro and will still need a thin skim of bondo.

It happens, dont be hard on urself. I would say slow down, have an air nozzle with ya and weld and blow it with air, its fast and way less messy than water. Try it, get you a pattern/rhythm going, weld weld blow, weld weld blow. And go one way acorss the panel, not back and forth because those outside welds are barely cool and your coming back beside them and welding again. And as hard as it is, i know, if ur weld blows some out, dont sit there and fill it back up, zap it and cool it zap it and cool it. You got this bro, only one thing happened, heat, everything else you got. Next time kill that heat and you will have the results you seek, nuthin but a skim coat of glazing.

Those patch panels are not the best. The bottom part of it is really designed to replace that section of the heater channel also. kind of a dual patch piece. i cut mine right above the bolt hole so i could mimic the factory welds between the quarter panel and heater channel. that helped me align them better. the nut on the back of the bottom was keeping the back out some.
