I don't know if anyone here still uses oxy-fuel torches for bodywork repair but i filled in a few holes in my floorpan with some decent results. I will post some before and after pics once I am finished.

Anyone have any good tips and techniques?

patience ... i really like to do this on a ground up restauration. it takes time and patience, but IMHO, it is lightyears better than bodyfiller bondo crap-o-la ...

icon_bump.gif For small holes (pinhole really) it works, great and is world class repair...use right temp...don't distort metal with the heat... use moist bastos (sp?) for heat sink...yada beerchug.gif
