Love these sort of build threads

But am I seeing properly, gas welding?? Would have thought with this much effort going into it MIG would have been the obvious choice

Yes that’s gas welding, MIG welder is on loan at the minute so the gas welding will have to suffice. Saying that tho the gas welding is working out pretty well as its great for filling any gaps which have been created by minor errors in fabrication of panels. The gas welding does create a lot of heat and warping of lighter sheets car occur. It’s also working out a lot faster than MIG as MIG is prone to burning holes. Will definitely have MIG for seam welding shell.

Point to note: None of us are full time welders.....

I did this on my own as i was advised to do it by a few top lads...! Supposed to be a great job...!
