Now that is what I like... Pictures.... I would like to see some pictures before the grinding and sanding is done so I can see were the pannels have been cut . I have to replace one box corner and both rockers inner and outer, both cab corners, and both fenders at the bottom by the doors and one front corner. So I got lots of welding to do.
I have the TIG with a foot pedal, but hate it. I want to get the thumb control. It is a real pain to get the pedal in the right position to weld when you are under a car with no hoist. I too prefer the TIG over the MIG.. The welds are so much nicer looking and saves so much time in clean up. I weld 10 hrs a day on Stainless steel, black metal is however another ball game. Clean Clean Clean is the secret. Stainless is clean from the get go. Black has mill scale, rust, and oil or grease that must be cleaned before a good weld can be acheived. Also another secret is to clean the rod you use. have a peice of steel wool or a scotchbrite pad and run the rod through the steel wool to clean the rod. After setting in the garage or shop it can get a slight coat of rust on it. I'm learning how to weld aluminum, but the scrap to practice on is so costly.
