As I'm getting closer to putting some new metal on my restoration project.
I've begun to wonder what folks do to the drilled out parts. Do you weld in the entire hole? Which would make a huge weld. Which would make the next restoration (20 years from now) really tough. Our do you weld in then hole flush. Then drill a smaller hole to weld in. What's the best practice?  |

Also, try a spot weld cutter next time. Easier the drilling. Zach |

Some the holes get kind of ugly. There wasn't any kind of template used when they assembled these cars. Some of the spot welds are pretty close to the edge. On this particular part removal I was trying to extract the drivers outer long from a complete side of the car. I would imagine most folks wouldn't use the part with the outer hole cut in it. Most times that would be the discarded piece. |
