ok, heres my new project. this is going to go pretty slow, until i can get some decent time to get work done... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) I hate school. ordered metal, and am waiting for it to arrive. I'm glad i didn't pay alot for this car, cause i found 100 percent more rust than I expected. things that looked solid, fell apart. lots of fabrication work. But i'm not afraid to fabricate stuff. I gotten pretty good. here are some pics that are more recent. Hope you enjoy this thread!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) drivers side after digging

hey!!! thanks for the info jerry!!at the beginning, i didn't have my settings right, and didn't know how it was supposed to sound. I can run a nice bead on the nice new metal, but i am kind of afraid to try and run a bead on the body panels....the first time i tried i burned right through...but that was before i got my settings right... i also cant figure out how fast i need to move the welder to prevent blow through.... sometimes i move to slow, and sometimes i move to fast, and cant control it....mabey ill give it another shot tomorrow at running a bead.... there sure are enough places to try on.....
