With a gas MIG welder and some practice you could do a good repair.
The main thing about welding this kind of repair is the practice, and then patience to not go too fast. Also good prep work, and careful fitment of your repair pieces. |

Also good prep work When doing this sort of thing, it's ALL in the prep work!!! You can't weld to rust!!! (BTDT) It HAS to be shiny metal. You can't weld to POR15! It's even a pain in the ass to weld to "weld-through" primer (it doesn't like to start the arc). (if I'm doing a rossette weld, I scratch off the primer with a dental pick before hand) If you trust me on these points, you will do fine. Wes |
