Hmmmmm..........A couple of burns, lungs full of welding fumes, eyes still seeing an arc and high from burning seam sealer fumes...........what could be more fun! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
It took 7 hours, but it's done. Hopefully it won't twist like a pretzel when I finally get to punch the 3.6! Passengers side............ Attached image(s)

Personnaly,
I'd spray the sh*t out of it with that 95% ground zinc/5% binder spray that rustoleum sells (ZincSele?) Stuff is conductive and you can weld through it Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode to steel and prevents rust. Zinc plated parts form a ring of melted zinc around the spotweld and protect it. Since you are doing rosettes rather than spot welds, you prolly will get some melted zinc at the edge of the melted metal. Having a conductive layer of zinc between the layers is a good thing. That being said, ZINC FUMES ARE POISONOUS and can cause zinc fever. Weld outside and wear a painting mask with an activated charcoal filter Ken |
