That car has great stance, but I'm finding it hard accept those welds.
Why not use tig welding instead of mig ?
Nice job, quick question… with that car body down to bare metal what precautions do you take daily to keep it clean of surface rust?
Great video… I work in a frame off restoration shop. I’m a collision repair tech by trade but just recently acquired this job.. doing quite a bit of rust repair and patch work on a 72. Bronco… thanks for the tips mam
Where did you pick up on all of this? I have not looked through all of the comments or videos due to time. I operate lasers in a metal shop. Did you go to school for this or pick it up from a family member as a trade or learn from the internet?
.hold the mig torch with one hand and a wet rag on the other. do a 1cm bead the put the rag on top until it stops boiling the water…it will dry instantly then keep going…i can do a very very preety bead with a 100€ fluxcore machine even on a roof….. if you do it tack by tack the metal will be too cold it will look like shit and require massive grinding, also there will be zero penetration and after grinding you can litterally break the weld by bending the metal…. and grinding can also warp a panel….you also cannot let it get too hot..i find that 1 to 2cm at a time works great even on a roof, just aim the wire to the center of the gap and try to fill the void between the 2 pieces, give it some wire then stop, the metal will be glowing, dont wait until the glow disappears or you will be just shitting weld and not really fusing metal. after 1 to 2cm of bead aplly the rag…easy…the hard part is making the patches not welding them
Are you self taught?
See no reason for continuous welding.
I learn something from every video I watch. Thank you for producing content that I can enjoy.
Disclaimer: This video was made for the average fabricator or backyard builder to get some tips. I realize butt welding & planishing afterwords is the ideal technique here. Butt welding & planishing is however a more advanced technique. And if you already have those skills, you probably wouldn't be searching youtube for a video on how to do your own sheet metal patch. Keep that in mind with rude comments. If you think you can make a better video, I invite you to spend your own time, without pay, making FREE instructional videos.
