Oh and you want a nice constant sizzle sound, the weld should penetrate to the back side. Start by just firing up and building a nice hot pool of metal then proceed by dragging the gun at an angle making horse shoe type movements. Maybe you could have someone who is a welder watch and even guide your hands while your welding to give you a feel of what to do.
Open the door where the spool of wire is, there you will find suggested starting settings for the gauge of steel you are practicing on. This gives a good starting point to fine tune your feed and amps. You will know when your setup is right by practicing. Good clean sheet metal is what you should try on, and probably a little on the thick side, then when your laying beads confidently move on to thinner stuff.
jeez i woulda just undercoated behind the beam, you are true craftsman or im a major butcher.:woohoo:
yes its a derby car, and he painted it not me.lol i got my days mixed up and thought today was the 25th [race day], so we threw this together last night in a big hurry because i put doing it off too long.
the car has silver accents that didnt show in photo, looks better in person. Also the green is almost neon.
Our restoration guy uses the 1.3 iawata with sikkens. Most of the completes he does in pieces, however he does his share of taxi cabs [crown victorias] and budget completes all together. He actually adds accelerator to the clear, it acts as a retarder keeping the film open longer before it kicks. Im not nuts clear with accelerator stays wet longer giving him time to work around the car with the slower gun, he sure lays down slick clear coat so i guess its worth the extra couple minutes in the booth verses a mop job.

I like the paint jimmo, i think the subtle hue difference looks good, i see black with silver fade from bottom around here which looks cheesy to me but i like what ya did here.
Hey bondo i could show 100 floor samples without prices to my wife and she would without a doubt fall in love with and have to have the most expensive one.:SThats one of the prettiest ugly cars i’ve seen. Nice job. Our production manager has a gremlin which is also pretty and ugly.B)
I see i thought you were gonna make the whole cover into a mold then cast one piece.
Im anxious to see the results of the mold, been thinkin about making some grand cherokee bumpers for myself. I didnt know that the dakota bumper cover fits the new body durango grill-lights.
Read the bold red print my friend. Every manufacturer says it……..beam bent at all…..replace shell.
