save up and get a MIG with no presets. I find I'm always setting it in between the numbers.

I do TONS of mig welding at school, and its always in the middle. Im getting  good at it too, I just make thick beads

Here it is all ground down




Tried to get the light to shine down the panel




I coated it with pickelx to keep it from rusting until I do all the body work at one time.
Next to finish the rocker and frame
About 6 hrs between yesterday and today.

Looking great :D


You know if you really like doing this come to Chicago. I'm pretty sure I could find you an 88 XR-7 that's rusted just as bad, if not worse, than your car was for $200 :hick:

LOL.... NY has just as many, the 87 bird sitting in my driveway is about as bad. the back window leaked and the whole floor is rotted out,  Makes mine look good. not to mention the trunk wells were filling up with water. I had to drill holes in them to drain the water.

If the cars were worth something, I would make some money off rebuilding them, mabe in another 20 years. But I would be to old to care then (my knees hurt now). I'll have to hand that job down to someone younger on the board. LOL.... You want it?

I'm looking for another project after this one. I already have one in mind if its still available when the time comes. Might be that 70 cougar, that cougar1car is selling. I'll have to see, although my wife wants a 67-68 cougar

hope is the easy part, finding the rust-free panels are the hard part.

Welding is easy

LOL.. Well it looks like there's no rot, and all the pieces are there.
Dude, I can fix it. My dad's got an awesome set of tools, he's a TV repairman.

You bring it over, and I'll see what I can do. LOL

It's official, My wife and I will be going to Catjam. Fri-Sun morning. Made our reservations a few day ago. The bad news is, I will not be at the picnic until afternoon because we are also going to the dog rescue picnic 40 min. away in the morning. Hopefully I'll get to meet everyone at some point.
I'll be easy to find. I'll be the one without a cougar. lol
