Well done and easier to follow than the explanations on paper by the Practical Classics Magazine experts on bodywork from panelbeating to welding. Pictures and video's together form a worthwhile experience, but also a warning on what one is up against if the choice is made to repair bodywork sections instead of buying prefabricated repair pieces...
I actually love that idea! I'll have a think to see what sound effects I can come up with! Maybe one of the large doors in Star Trek! Any visible welds will be ground back, filled and sanded when the panels are fitted to the car.
Hi Ross. I see you are using 0.9mm flux core wire. Have a look at Fitzies Fabrications channel. I think a thinner wire may produce better welds. Less heat and less height to your puddles. 0.6mm flux core is available. I just bought some to try.
Invest in a couple of feet of heavy angle iron easier using clamps in a vice for folding your metal. Also try spot welding , drill 10 mm or so holes along your new piece and weld into the drill holes and grind smooth , easier than a butt weld if it’s possible to do. 🖖
