DIY Body Work:
Here's my first real attempt at
welding and metal work. I picked up a Lincoln SP-135 Plus mig welder, a Speedglas
auto-darkening helmet, and a tank of CO2/Argon gas from the local welding
shop. I spent the good part of a week reading everything I could find on
welding -- and welding every scrap of steel I could get my hands on. After
a few weeks of practice, I finally got up the nerve to strike an arc on my car.
The welding was a little rough at first, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly
and the welds (and warping) got a lot better.
Now that the major metalwork is
done and all of the Creative Car Craft fiberglass body panels are pre-fit, it's time
to send the car off for some paint...
