Got a patch job project to do , I've seen in the restoration threads where McMark had a similar patch project , just looking for some advice on the gap size between the two pieces of sheet metal ( cut a section out of a scraped car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) ) . This is my first time to do any body panel welding , got .024 wire on mig , voltage/amperage set on lowest setting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) , hasn't burned through so far on other pieces I've welded in , just want some ideas about gap size , butted up together , a tiny gap between the two ,or maybe a certain distance apart. Thanks for any replies as I do not want to screw it up rrreeeaall bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) that I can't grind it out.

I believe I do understand what you're getting at , instead of tacking it all around the perimeter , you just start welding the gaps as you go around it , giving it space to move into . I like that idea as the tack the perimetr method was what I was looking at doing. Thanks McMark , the patch job you done on the blue car is very close to what i have in front of me but both sides running across the middle also basically the bottom setion of the panel where the sound pad rusted the panel out , being a newbie I wanted as much advice as possible , got one shot and hoping not to screw up . Thanks again to all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
