Re: Weld in flip door

First off It needs some warmth in some things for body work but let me just say this I had to heat my plasma cutter the first two days of last week before the PCU would let it turn on and the company had never had one in extremes that cold. If you heat metal and the filler or things similar going on it it will be fine. Now the flange tool, the only thing I use mine for is the opposite end of that head is a hole puncher and I can make the start of some spot weld holes with it. Once I have punched a panel I take a step drill bit and open the holes a couple more sizes to make a decent sized spot weld hole. That is the only worth I have found with that tool. If you put a flange on there no matter what you do to the body or how good your work is it will leave a shadow line of the flange. It also provides a trap for rust and isn't that what we are trying to get away from on these old trucks? Jim
