Lead is a wonderful way to do body work---if you can find it somewhere-- to correct others mistakes or your own work in a restoration/repair.
Aint spot welding and stitch welding hell? That is why I bought the wire feed welder, mostly for aluminum and stainless steel.
Ican't do TIG welding anymore, hurts my eyes and body/back.
You are doing a great job !!Don't give up and don't get hurt !!
It will be a while. I'm hoping to have it done in the next 2-3 years with any luck. Thats factoring in my other projects.When do you expect to drive this car ?
I'm always impressed when I see what you have done !
Thanks Grumpy. Patience has a lot to do with it too. But as far as tooling for anyone that may come along and see this thread it's a stepping stone process buy it steps. You have standard tools like angle grinders, die grinders and cut off tools that you need as well as a welder. One thing I can recommend if you're going to go as far into a project as I am is everything in the picture below.yes, having gone through a bit less extensive but none, the less complicated body restoration on both,
a friends 1967 Fairlane, and a friends 1964 GTO, in past years
I can assure the less knowledgeable members that this if far more complicated and time-intensive than it looks.
that and it surely requires a decent welder and some sheet metal fabrication skills,
(if you want the job done correctly.. P
you'll be forced to buy a decent welder and a bunch of bodywork tooling
and
you'll certainly be forced to learn the required skills to use those tools, in the restoration process.
