Malcom, the sheet metal on our LBCs is 20 ga <about .036"> Flux core wire feed welders are at their lower limit here. The MIG setup is a better choice for body work. Also, ox-acetylene is making a bit of a comeback for body work. More initial distortion but better workability of the weld area after the fact. Cheers! Tom O'Malley '74, '77 Spits |
