 I read that these two parts came from the factory as a single replacement. Are they spot welded, seam welded or braized? How hard would it be to replace the quarter panel using this as the splice (instead of replacing the quarter + jam together?) thanks! Carl K. |

The problem with welding by the seam is that it's not going to be clean metal between. Best case scenario, you have new weld through primer only in between. That stuff doesn't work that well for mig or tig - best to use a spot welder. You can't clean up between afterward, so the joint becomes a weak spot for more rust to form.
Butt welding is welding 2 pieces butted up to one another - there's no double layers involved. Just back the weld and there's no danger of blow through. Do it where it's single layered. |
