Steel flares !! So for those of you who have done this, how many hours would a shop typically take ready for paint ?

When I put 6 hours that is because 95% of the body shops will cut, MIG, grind, fill, prime, block, paint.. 5% will TIG hammer, metal file, metal finish..
I am fine for MIG on my project as my car is in no way original, and I am doing the work myself so time is in no way an issue. I will spend 30 minutes at a time to weld,grind, hammer, weld, grind, hammer until I am happy with it. Keep in mind I am and aviation manufacturing TIG welder by trade with typical weld joints of .015-.035 thicknesses.. If I would have started with a cherry car to begin with I may have Tig welded them.. The turbo flares I did on my 911 I TIG welded were just as much hammering as the ones I MIG welded.. |
