    Default welding panels

    can anyone here give me some tips on welding panels? I wanna smooth over my boot and shave my rear door handles.

    Can it be done with a bunnings special gasless mig?

    lol. i would say no, but anything can be done with anything. just depends on how good you are. warp the door and itll oil-can for life, so i am gonna say "NO"

    all you need to know is here: Welding body/panels

    Yeah we did a Summernats Cruise car with a gasless Mig.. We welded up the rear doors but inserted steel rods (about 2mm) in the door seams before we welded away.

    i do everything from turbo manifolds to panel work with a cheapo gasless mig at the moment cause its easy transported they work just fine just make sure you mask up and windows or chrome cause it splatters like shit and melts into glass
    I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
    tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable
