Re: Welding body panels

To get a good butt weld use strong magnets. You can also get a good set of welding vice grips. They will have large throats or a long reach etc to get into odd positions. Magnets work well though. You can also tack weld a nail to the panel so that you have a handle to hold it. Once the panel is tacked in place just cut the nail off and grind down the weld. You will have lots of griding to do anyhow one extra tack isnt going to hurt a thing.
