I finally got my rotisserie back from the guy I lent it to. A pain in the neck but oh well. The biggest thing I am happy about is that I broke down and bought some gas and a bottle for my welder. Too bad they dont make .023'' diameter fluxcore wire or I would have used that. All I can say is that it is ALOT easier to weld the sheet metal now that I have smaller wire and shielding gas. My welds still look like ass but it is easier to control burn through. I was only able to lay down 3 patches before I got busted for welding outside of the welding booth. Now the new guy that told on me gets to help me push it in and out every day till I'm done!
Battery tray from the engine bay side. I plan to smooth it out with either JB weld or some type of caulking. I couldnt weld the patch all the way across on the firewall side because it is too thin there. In retrospect I probably should have cut that area out on the firewall because it is so thin from rust but oh well. I dont feel like it now.
View from the fender well side after a quick prime.
Two more spot right under the battery tray area under the wheel well that were very bad.
Passenger side right in front of the rocker panel area. I tried to shape it the best I could but its not the shape that it was from the factory. The front fender will cover it though.
