Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work Very nice welded seam

Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work You are doing nice work.
I have a couple of suggestions based on my experience. You really want to do all the front and rear fender repairs on the frame with the brackets set up. You can lock in deformities that will make fender installation almost impossible. I had to undo some beautiful bodywork on a pair of fenders I bought. They were done off the frame and would not fit at all!!! It appears you were putting in a flat piece of metal at the tail of the fender. The 30-31 fenders are a compound curve in that area. The metal should be formed first before welding in place. From looking at your welding, do not try a TIG welder unless you can afford to buy one. You are not far from putting in panels with little or no grinding- just some hammer on dolly planishing. You are likely to find a TIG welder to be a wonderful change. |
Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work Flop,
Nice work! What size tungsten an filler rod are you using? The front fender, plus other parts look hot/too much rod, for an easy clean-up. Dudley |
Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work very inspiring you keep tackling the hard stuff and come up looking good! what is weld thru primer and where do you get it?
|
Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work Fixing the rear motor mounts, now you're just showing off.:cool:
|
Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work thanks guys.
dj the tungsten is 3/32nds filler is prob. double the size of a .023 piece of mig wire. i use alot of rod for sure. i like to make sure i get it over lapping the seam to act as a filler i dont know why just have the best results that way.as far i heat i am set on 70 amps and have never been into the pedal id say more then half way. thanks kevin . the front fender with the tear on the edge was was tacked in place on the car and the matched to a perfect unaltered a fender and both had the same curve in the front . rolling... weld thru primer is a primer you can weld through.i put it in areas like behind brackets that get spot welded etc. thanks mike :p |
