This is a long, slow process but I am making some headway in the restoration of my '63 MGB. I'm basically a novice at bodywork but have taught myself to use a MIG welder and have replaced the inner a

I have You could butt-join them, but that makes accurate fitting a real pain and makes welding more difficult. Don't just tack them and use filler; you need a continuous weld to prevent water enterin

I have been working on my 74 Midget that I've stripped (nearly) to the frame. For underneath, I strip off all the paint and that god-awful tar undercoating and then wire brush the rust and paint with

In a couple of months I will have my '66 B completely stripped...no engine, no front end...just a shell. My first question is, what is the absolute best way to remove ALL the rust prior to doing body

Plastic or shell media blasting. Absent that, hand grubbing. Gas is more flexible, but requires true artistry. A chimpanzee can learn to do reasonable MIG in about an hour. Since the latter is about

MIG also gets my vote. When I restored my B, I took a welding class at the local community college. For our gas welding exam, we were given five identical pieces of square sheet steel and told to ga

I don't know what an MIG is, but I have been doing a lot of welding on my '67 B and gas works well, but it's very slow and tedious. I borrowed an arc and was surprised to find that it does a wonderf

A chimpanzee, huh. Well, a Gibbons can learn to do it in about 2 hours. I have gas welded sheet metal, and mig welded it. Maybe there's a way of gas welding that does not distort the metal, but I hav
