Thanks Robert. I really enjoy your videos. I've definitely had panels suck in when not leaving enough gap.
If you don't know...... it will get out of hand quick... Hey thanks for supporting the channel, you are much appreciated !

Thanks Robert! Great information here. When Mig welding was first available and affordable for home garages, I went to The School of Hard Knocks for this info. Bill
Thanks Bill ! Yeah I think i've always taken the long way around the mountain too....

Hey Guzzi. Thanks for the extra tips.👍👍🍁
Glad you could use it brother.
More here than most hour long vids
Just trying to pass on solid advise, Thank you for supporting the channel !
Excellent video, if you are welding two different sheet metal thickness, let's say 20G to 18G which wire size would be best? (A lot of repo replacement panels are thinner than original)
Hey I just found your Channel a few weeks ago and subscribed. Your videos are very well done. Hey do you mind telling me what type of filler primer you use and why you like it?
Great tips, thank you! Using a utility knife blade for a gap gauge is a really handy thing, I'll start using that. And thanks for the info about draping the gun lead, didn't know that.
Thanks ! if the liner in the gun lead gets kinked.... your done.... and it's so easy to prevent. I'm glad you can use things in the video !
I always use a plumbers wire brush for polishing up the nozzle if its not super crusty. My .02!
Hey that's cool, thanks fior the info !
Yeah, it works great!

Good afternoon Robert. Outstanding video. I'm 74 years old and I learn something new from every one of them. I will from now on drape my cables instead of winding them up although I haven't had any problems as of yet. My other comment is about the holder with the magnet for the mig handle. Did you make that yourself or did you buy that? If you made it, could you do a short video on how you did it? I could probably fabricate one but it was hard to get a good look at it. One final note, the little spot blaster that you used in a previous video. Harbor Freight doesn't have them but Tractor Supply shows them on their website but they're out of stock. I did however run across someone that has one that he doesn't use. I offered to buy it but he said that I could have it. Sorry this is so long but I'm old and sometimes I get a little long winded. God bless and have a wonderful day.
Thank you Sir ! the mig gun holder can be purchased at any welding supply, amazon, northerntool, etc $20 - $30. the spot blaster I purchased about 5 yrs ago at harbor freight, seems they are hard to find now ( like everything else ...... ) Thanks for supporting my channel, I really appreciate you !
@@guzzifabrication3448 Thank you. 👍

Great tips for a beginner like me! Thank you.
That is what my channel is all about ! Helping new / non-professional people with solid advise, Thanks for commenting !
Great idea marking baselines on outside of welder. I find there are different wire coatings, had some that would leave copper behind in liner, causing wire to drag. I learned to not buy cheap wire.
Thanks for the info on the wire !
Great tips!!
Thanks ! @jimh3362
Great tips. Thanks. How do you feel about flux for sheet metal? 18g etc?
I have a hard time getting to work on my project because you have so many excellent videos I need to watch. I wish I would have seen this one 2 years ago. Thanks!
Hey thanks brother for the compliment ! It's never too late to learn, better late than never... get with it !
Hey Robert Do you think I could achieve similar results with a Lincoln 140 mig? It doesn’t have as much fine tuning as yours it has preset settings that are more broad like 1 to 12 for wire speed and A to D for voltage but still shows settings for sheet metal. I just want to make a good purchase so I can do some practicing on small stuff. Mostly 18G sheet metal and some impala frame work like the 63 you did. My 59 has some small rot in the frame. I k ow it’s not something one picks up over night but I’d rather get a good tool and learn how to use it then compensate for a “budget” purchase.
I had a lincoln 140 mig starting out, AWESOME welder ! It's perfect for your application. Use shieding gas and .025 wire, you are good to go. You can dial it in, the biggest part of welding - seat time, learn your machine.
@@guzzifabrication3448I really appreciate it! Thanks for the input. And like you say I’ll make sure to invest in PPE!
@@Juliovee123 Absolutely always protect yourself !
Have you ever used the millermatic 250x? Did you get good results? Can you recommend a good 2 stage air compressor that can keep up with air sanders and sandblasting? Thank you
Miller makes welders ?
