Getting ready to pull out the gas shielded Miller wire feed MIG welder to plug weld my new rear floorpan into my '72. I'll be practicing on some scrap metal first, but would like some opinions on MIG settings to start with. Specifically shield gas pressure, wire feed rate, and current settings. Plus since the car is on jack stands, and I'll be welding overhead, any helpful hints on how not to get splattered, burned, or otherwise tortured while under there would be helpful. I have the shield, gloves, and I'll wear leather wherever possible. Don't have the luxury of a rotisserie for this one.

12-15 on a flow meter should be fine depending on your nozzle size. You may want to get a spot welding nozzle for your gun.
Get a welding jacket. I'm out of these but your local welding supply store will have these. I've been on fire while welding under a car on my back. It's kind of exciting but can go wrong really fast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |
