Thanks man! I appreciate that! Im just an amateur compared to a lot of other folks. The 57 is for a customer. The truck has a lot of original patina but needed inner and outer lower door skins, lower fender sections, lower hinge pockets, and headlight brows. I tried to convince him to leave the patina how it was but he want the holes gone so here I am. Lol. I use a 2 and 3 inch green roloc bristle disc. It doesn't remove thickness of the metal but cleans it enough to get a proper scribe and weld. Then once the weld is planished, i use 80 on a da then follow up with 180 then a red scotch brite pad with Gibbs.
