Stangdb - you're right mustangs do deserve the best you can offer - instead of using bondo I 'll use fiberglass filler - let's leave bondo for the chevys

RE: Bondo and Rust Bullet
I wanted to get a year or 2 out of it before I did the paint. Current paint is about a 5 footer. The more I mess around with the more I'm convinced I'm buying new doors. Since I'm welding & body work challenged probably be cheaper for me in the long run to put new doors on instead of having body shop put newskins.I'm going to take a welding class one day.
In any cases ended grinding down, treating inside and outside with rust bullet, filling with jb weld.

Shift - that's basically how I've learned stuff I do. I need to do my cowl one day and engine bay shock tower. Would the welder you gave me a link on handle that?
For the money and limited use may be good investment plus a new toy.

RE: Bondo and Rust Bullet
yeah i mean i shopped around and ended up buying that one. inexpensive, not to hard to figure out with the gas and stuff. people on here said it was fine for light work like sheet metal and so far its been good for patching in new metal. I dono how it would be in real thick metal but sheet metal has been fine. some other people can prob give you some input too. Basically, it fills all my needs, and thats what matters....

Just make sure you have a 240v outlet somewhere.

RE: Bondo and Rust Bullet
What kind of welding do you do with your mig? Do you think that you could tackle a quarter skin with it? I am going to be getting a mig in June and I know that you get more slag with the flux core, but what kind of control do you get? I want as little warpage as possible on my quarters.
