In this episode of our 1976 Mercedes Benz we go ahead and install the complete front clip of the car, both front aprons and the radiator core support. It’s welding time using a mig welder and making sure this unibody car is all in tact for safety and security.

What is mig welding
MIG—i.e., metal inert gas—welding is generally used for large and thick materials. It employs a consumable wire that acts as both the electrode and the filler material. Compared to TIG welding, it is much faster, resulting in shorter lead times and lower production costs.
What is the difference between Mig Welding and Tig Welding
The difference between the two is the way the arc is used. MIG (metal inert gas) welding uses a feed wire that constantly moves through the gun to create the spark, then melts to form the weld. TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding uses long rods to fuse two metals directly together.
M.I.G./M.A.G.S. Welding – Advantages and Disadvantages Higher welding speeds. Greater deposition rates. Less post welding cleaning (e.g. no slag to chip off weld) Better weld pool visibility. No stub end losses or wasted man hours caused by changing electrodes.

How many years does it take to restore an old pos like that?
thats a lot of work. and you do an awesome job
Excellent job aligning all those swapped parts….takes years to know how to do that properly!
Thanks Pete a nice production. I sure enjoy the education.
Hey Pete I accidently put diesel in my friends Chevy truck,about a half tank that was nearly empty,the truck ran fine, I kept borrowing the truck until I ran all the diesel out and then filled it with premium. I think it was an mid 80s C10,worst F'in back hurting seat ever
Santa must have been good to Pete. His first video without bitching, pissing and moaning about EVERYTHING.
