Re: Rat repair.

Well got started welding in the door today, of course as soon as i started i had to stop and change the battery's out in my miller welding pod, naturally finding said battery's was another story.

But got it started and so far no oil canning, had about 3 burn thru's that i had to fill and one of the spots did crack so i know i need to watch at closely too..

I drilled thru the inner bed panel in 3 places tith a 1/8" bit as a rough marker for cutting the inside opening later.

I just had a thought while typing this, i sure hope i didn't get the procedure messed up so i cant get the inner part of the filler screwed on to the piece I'm welding in?? In other words, should i have done all the clearance cutting first and had the inner part screwed onto the part i'm welding in? Hope not..
