Thanks man and you keep up the great work you are doing also and keep posting pics. You do really nice work man.

Oh and I think I'm going to get some .40 tungsten also and give it a try to see if I can get a smaller HAZ. The less HAZ the better when it comes to sheetmetal. I'm just going to play around and see what I like better.

I was reading on metalmeet this guy said he ran a quick bead (fusion weld) across the total length of his door skin and got very little distortion. I have to try it sometime (on test pieces of course.lol) and see if I can get that good. I can't imagine doing a fusion weld for the length of door panel and not getting much distortion. But those guys on metalmeet and incredible.
