Re: 1st paint job

match the metal thickness with whats there..you can pick up a metal gauge at cardboard frieght for just a few dollars..
it really needs welded solid..taking your time and doing spot welds..
grind your spot welds ( but only the spot welds) as you go and hammer and dolly the welds to combat the shrinkage
MP&C and John the astronaut are masters at doing this and making it look as if it were never touched..
be sure you use epoxy primer over your bare metal
