Ross,
Eastwood also has "panel clamps" for butt welding. These clamps hold
the 2 pieces together with a narrow gap perfect for Mig welding (and Tig).
I've used these tools for a couple of jobs, the welding is nice and clean
with a minimum of grind down (just make sure you can get the tools out
before final welding. lol
Another choice is "Cleco" panel temporary fasteners. They act as a
temporary rivet tightly holding together the 2 pieces. You can use these
tools with a bridge (strap of metal) to hold the parts together for butt
welding, remove and weld up the .06 dia holes once you are done with the
butt weld.

This may have been mentioned in an earlier reply, but one advantage to
butt
welding is that you leave no place for water/moisture, etc., to get in and
start rusting again. Butt welding may take more time fitting, but I think
it's worth it in the long run.
