Cave and pave is such a fitting term. My old pickup was in an an accident in the early seventies, the cab repair scab finally fell off a couple years back. It is plain to see how they hammered it all down and used filler to achieve the shape. Guess they thought it would hold up like lead work. Best days to you all there 👍
Hi thanks for the feedback, I'm working on it. Most times I get working and forget to setup the camera. I'll try and get some more time lapse for the next videos.
Have you thought about using a real spot welder (looks like a large clamp) instead of doing plug welds which you call spot welds? I think it might be easier & faster than all the drilling ,welding up holes then grinding down the weld lumps.
If I keep doing this yes! Honestly I never thought I would be doing so much. I recently added the plasma cutter and TIG welder. A spot welder could be a welcome addition.
I'm still using MIG. I bought a TIG welder recently and as soon as confidence is up enough I'll start using it more instead of MIG. Brookville used MIG when they put their bodies together. I know TIG is slower but better when welding sheet metal.

I think you do great work. I would like to see you actually do something. With me it also an education. Thank you for being there.
