Would you still be able to do the same quality work with a flux core mig machine I have or just go ahead and buy a gas mig welding machine setup?
@fatdaddieshotrods2 күн бұрын
It's possible to use flux core but I wouldn't recommend it. You will have much better results using a mig with gas.

We use Walter cut off wheels, grinding wheels, flap disks etc. In our experience they outperform and most importantly outlast most anything you'll get at a hardware store or Lowes. Well worth the extra expense.

good job but to be definitively efficient, you should put grease everywhere. grease et the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside cavity- hidden erea - instead of using paint before reclosing), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and poor old oil everywhere each year.Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france

So, you didn't show it, but did you put the new skin against old panel and trace a line to cut the old panel out? I prefer to butt weld like you did in this video, but unsure how much gap I should create between the new and old skin and how to get the gap. t. Do you just run the cut off wheel along the new skin using a thin cutting wheel or draw a line and cut using an offset you are used to? BTW, nice prof work there.
@fatdaddieshotrods11 ай бұрын
Thanks. I actually trace it a couple of times. The first time I cut about an away from the line and remove the metal from around the lip of the wheel well and anywhere else. Then I put it back up and trace around it again to see if the line has changed. It usually does. Then i cut close to the line the next time. About 1/4 away. I put it up one more time and see if it has changed. If not, I cut right on the line. I put it up for the last time and trim any spots that are overlapping while it's on there. You want your gap to be about the thickness of your cutting wheel. About a 1/16 of an inch. I hope this answers your question and helps you out.

It's just flat black Rust-Oleum. It covers pretty good. The cans are hit and miss on how they spray though. Some of them like to clog halfway through the can. I've also used John Deere Blitz Black, which I actually like better but the dry time isn't quite as fast.

@jjay718 Жыл бұрын
Nice job! Whats your procedure for getting the panel to fit tight. Do you just trace it and then cut it out or I see some people lay the new panel over the old and then cut it.
@fatdaddieshotrods Жыл бұрын
In short, I hold the panel in place with the help of c clamps wherever i can use them. I trace the panel and then take it back off. I then cut two to three inches outside of the line. I then put the panel back on and use self taking screws to screw it on about an inch inside of the panel. This helps pull everything together so the next line is a accurate as possible. After that I'll either pull the panel off and cut the line or leave it on and cut around the edge of the panel. It really just depends on which is easier for the panel. If you leave it on just try and keep your cutoff wheel as straight to the panel as possible. If you angle it to much you will cut a bigger gap and make it more of a pain to weld. Hope this helps.
