Another 6 Emerging from the Black Hole Slowly coming back to Earth, Now made it to Spain the journey continues Options

This factory 6 managed to escape the forces pulling it into a black hole never to be seen again. It was not without every ounce of thrust it could muster and it was not without suffering a considerable amount of damage. The crew patched it back together the best they could with primitive tools and scrap they found floating in space. fortunately they crash landed in easy reach of the secret facility known as Area51Werks. The owner is someone you may or may not know. Juergen Lives in Washington. The car will eventually end up on the other side of the pond. But for now it is on it's way to the final stages of completion. It was not like this in the beginning....

Very nice work Metal Master. Was the advantage of welding TIG rods to the skin as opposed to using standard spot weld studs about more control when pulling and massaging the metal?

I have a stud gun but never use it. The tip is spring loaded which requires you to use down force to set the pin. Often the pin creates a crater and sinks the panel. Also you see guys using a slide hammer to jerk the damage out. This to me, is counter productive. I just use a lever (visegrip and verious blocks) an tap the outer edge of the damage to raise the low metal.
