All,
    Despite the obvious health risks, {cough...cough... thump....} I've 
just bought a quantity of zinc chromate primer.  Don't worry, I have a 
forced air full-face respirator, and plan on covering every inch of my 
body (something most women ask me to do, regardless).  But the 
anti-corrosion benefits seem worth the (small) risk.  My question is: 
 Does anyone know if it is acceptable practice to weld through (while 
wearing a respirator, of course) zinc chromate, and has he/she done it? 
 I know galvanized metal can be welded, but most panels in the aerospace 
industry are riveted and bonded, which doesn't help answer my question.
Thanks in advance,
James J.

p.s. I need to get my V-8 conversion done before my co-worker gets his 
Cobra Kit car finished.  It's a matter of pride!  So send all your 
positive thoughts this way, and wish me luck.
