About to send the car for paint and I want to weld the cowl seam and side marker light holes up. What's the best way to go about doing this?
Thanks |

Welding shut the cowl seam is a bad idea, at least that is what the brain trust seems to think. I left mine.
Welding up marker lights. I cheated when I did mine. I cut a patch slightly larger then the hole, cleaned off all the paint and tar behind the fender, and lap-welded the hole shut. A little bit of body filler, and you'd never know they were there. I used this technique to close all the holes in the fender when I pulled out the AC. You can carefully cut a patch and butt weld them in, and then grind the weld flat - but I don't weld that well, and wanted them done. Zach |
