Be sure to practice on something that doesn't matter, before you start welding on your car. After you've spent enough time to get the welder tuned in and the welds nice and pretty, then weld the piece on. Don't practice on the finished piece.
If you are going to MIG, don't make beads any longer than 1/2". And DON'T GET IN A HURRY!!! How long are you going to live with this car/fender? Take care and time. I agree with McMark on the template thing. Why take an extra step anyway? One last comment, how bad is the fender on the car? Unless it's totally mangled, I'd probably try to coerce it back to shape before welding on a different piece. If this is your first effort, you could end up with more filler to fix your welds, than to even out some metal work. |
