wayfarerstranger Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Everyone needs a LITTLE car to work on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 these little cars are a load of fun...they will actually surprise the average person as to how roomy they are inside plus the trunk storage and don't forget better ride than many larger cars.....I have 5 of these but one is definitely a parts car...It is donating a few pieces to this project including some of the wiring harness...

Plymouthy Adams Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 well, it is easier to do this standing up as shown instead of standing on my head bent over a sill or lying inside the car on/across tunnel and seat boxes...

Prob do me a lot of good to practice up a bit. I've always enjoyed that process. many welding sets come with tips sizes 1, 2, & 3 with the 1 as the smaller tip. I suggest an 00 tip for the average car body panel...if you doing any metal thinner, an 000 will allow you to weld a tin can/AC ducting easily. When welding the very thin metal I use a section of wire of .030 welding wire as it is also copper coatexd, there is little call for thin material but you never know. Any other time I use copper coated steel rods of 1/16 or 3/32 diameter. The copper cuts down on a lot of the sparks when welding with the open flame..
