No, I write software for a living. I taught myself to weld fixing rust buckets as a teenager in Pennsylvania. I never owned a car back there that I didn't have to weld in floor patches.
Mostly oxy-acetylene. This is my first time using MIG although I have used a Lincoln AC stick welder for various small projects.
Back then I used any old piece of scrap metal I could lay my hands on and coat hangers for rod. This is the first time I've tried to make the repair look factory original by using donor patch panels, plug welding the original spot welds and grinding the welds smooth.
