I'm getting my project car in about two weeks and will need to weld on the rear fenders before I can begin any body work. Anyone have any good suggestions on welding on rear fenders. Any tips on what type of welder to use. I use to use a mig welder. Unfortunetly I do not have a welder and will have to rent one.

advice on the welder.....use one that has gas, flux core is too ugly for that type of repair...normally the really cheap MIGs do not have a fine enough adjustment which can be a PITA
how much of the rear fenders are you replacing? the proper method would be to drill out the spot welds in the trunk (in the channel near or under the trunk seal) |
