Best Way To Weld Panels?

[mix200]

hey i looking at doing some welding on my cars pannels. whats the best way of going about it?

i was thinking using a mig welder and just do lots of tack welds untill the hole pannel is welded, to prevent warping??

thats the go,

tack welds moving around the panel surface/edges to ensure any movement is countered with the new tack.

hopefully you have a mig welder with good wire feed control, this method is pretty hard with a cheap mig that doesnt do slow wire speeds

you can tig them also, up to you and what you have access to.

Make sure you tack the two panels together before, thsi helps stop warping. Then I usually will carefully weld (tack, tack, tack) one inch, leave an inch, weld the next, then go back....

DO NOT USE WATER OR A WET SPONGE TO COOL THE PANEL DOWN!!! Just let it naturally cool... Artificial cooling really makes a shit pie of panels...
