I just wanted to share why I enjoy tig welding sheetmetal. I hope its cool to post it here.
Bondo, bondo, bondo.
This is what was under all that bondo
This is what I had to cut away. Yikes
Yeah thats another fender in that background covered in bondo also.lol
I had some front fenders that I've been gutting that provided the majority of the patch panel. A little tweaking and they worked fine. That little rust spot that was left I just formed my hand.
I used a 3/32 2% ceriated tungsten and 1/16 filler rod and tried to keep the smallest HAZ I could. Tig sheetmetal is great you can see how low the bead profile is and some of the metal finishing I started. Man you can hammer and dolly that HAZ to your hearts desire.
And here it is, almost ready for primer a little more welding and hammer and dolly work to do and very little filler will be needed now.lol
