You make some good sense there "Wheelin". You have some fine work there too by the looks.

I understand there is a small tool for drilling out spot welds. Anyone know where I can get this?

hi All

I could use some advice on welding of car body panels. This is for my little 1984 ute which I've decided I'll have to repair myself as I cannot get anyone to quote on the job. They all just...
