Funny how this list always follows what I am doing and is always timely
with information. I have finally started working on the body of my car and
its pretty flimsy aluminum that is also 65 years old. I have a lot of
cracks/rips in the body that I need to fix and I also have the SP125+ welder.
Any suggestions or ideas on fixing the rips and filling holes in the
aluminum body will be greatly appreciated. I have a oxy/act torch and the
mig but I have never tried welding aluminum before and this is pretty thin
stuff.
