I will certainly not argue with Mr. Kelly, who is clearly a master metal worker. I will say, however, that if you use a torch on sheet metal, you will need it to be workable, because you're going to HAVE to work it. Not saying that the MIG welded panel won't require some work, but torch welding sheet tends to warp the crap out of it due to the excessive heating of the surrounding area. With the MIG, the technique starts with tacking many places and then stitching in small increments to keep the heat down and warpage to a minimum. I think Aaron wants to simply attach flares, not weld sections that will require future stretching and molding. |
