  • This is the very first time welding a body patch or panel, as you can tell. Starting in an area that won’t be visible works for me so I can get more experience. Hope this helps.

    Your doing a great job. I am so looking forward to the rest of this build. Soon will be starting on my rear frame rails on my 67 bird.

      Thank you. I’m working my way up to the frame rails, they intimidate me a little right now. We’re getting there though. Good luck on yours and keep me posted on your progress. Thanks for watching 👍

    I was in the exact same position as you a few years ago. Rusty car and no welding experience. You're doing it right by learning on the areas that won't be seen. In another couple thousand welds, you'll be amazed at the difference. The REALLY difficult part is that once you get good at welding, you're going to want to go back an re-do all of the "learning" areas (at least that's what I feel when I look at my car).

      😂 that’s probably right, I am never satisfied with things that aren’t right. A little OCD that way. Thanks for the comment 👍

    I have not welded in over 40 years so this is interesting to see your tests. I plan to work on my floors first or the cowl box. This helps.

      Yep, never mig welded before. Practicing helps me a lot, also right before I do it on the car. Sounds like we are in the same boat. Start where no one can see a little mess up 😉. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project. Glad to help.👍

      @JK_Nex_Garage No way brother in the beginning I was really bad I started with a $90 dollars Harbor Freight flux core wire welder I still have today and let me tell you it was hard for me but I didn't give up and it made me a pretty good welder now and when I use a gas welder it's so easy for me I can close my eyes and do it keep being a positive person and believe me you will be building these cars faster than me

    Doing great, keep it up! For those gaps and holes that are a bit big get you some of the welding copper backing spoons and tools, they help a lot. The weld doesn't stick to the copper and lets you keep the weld where you want it.

    Copper backing helps, try All-Metal instead along with a 2 part sealant.
