64 Dart 5.7 hemi update thread.
Well I was kicken *** today. I spent a good amount of time cutting out circles to be welded into place and then welding them into place. I did my first go round on the welder, and I had a few spots to redo. I had some pin holes in some of my welds. Looking in my miller trouble shooting section it said to check my tip to see if it was clean and make sure the gas was on enough. The gas was on enough, but my tip was a little dirty. So I went for round two and filled in a couple places. Well things were going good, then on the passenger side, I heated up the metal about 1/4" away from what i was working on and burnt a hole through, now i have to cut out that section and weld in a little piece.
Does anyone have any tips on making less of those pesky pin hole welds and filling in tiny pin holes in general? It seems I create one for every one I fill. Also should i just go over my work with epoxy primer for now and then later when regular primer goes on fill in the tiniest of the low spots?
Im tired, and will probably take a day of rest tomarrow, but next week Ill patch my burn hole......darn it. Oh well, the enginebay area is my learning ground.
Well, what do you guys think for my first patchs, any suggestions?
