me too, I'm just removing the "laced" areas where rust lived. since theres no rust I'm left with "laced" metal. i have most of the panels even cut up a burb or two for the parts. just cutting spot welds to clean up the panels for grafting, should be fun!!! pics to follow...

Re: finally come

Re: finally come
 

you need to hammer & dolly the weld as you go ! got to the -metalmeet .com or allmetalshaping sites -lots of help available there -you do have to dig in the archives a bit ?? good luck !! mike

Re: finally come
 

thanks for the info. i'll check it out tonight!!! oh i forgot its on the rear quarters of the burb that im working on, they have the inner panel so no dolly action.

Re: finally come
 

Well that's a great start.

Re: finally come
 

remember -yoiu might use some weld thru primer -inside that 1/4 -or leave a spot on the back side for access for undercoat or something in there or it will rust real quick when the outside is finished ?? there should be lots of info on the 2 metal sites i mentioned - it would also be easier if the body is on a positioner for welding ?? im about ready to start on my 59 napco carry all ,lots of the same welding spots to be done !!

Re: finally come
 

i have a large area to patch. i will need to peel parts off to get access to internal parts such as the clam shell recieiver that i will be grafting a new rustfree piece back on. so i can get to the back side then

Re: finally come
 

Looks good, nice job.

Re: finally come
 

I guess I need some more adjustments to mine. Type of welder, settings?

Re: finally come
 

craftsman 120v set to min. temp and 3ish wire speed. I think im running non flux core wire, but I will check. no shielding gas... plus whats cool, when i flip to max temp and same wire speed i can weld 1/4" plate with same results!!!

Re: finally come
 

If your gas less it will be flux core wire.
