Time for another episode of "Overthinking the Build." I planned to braze in the fresh air tube in the door jamb and the corner at the bottom of the jamb to match what the factory did. Brazing makes sense in those spots. Problem is, I don't have a torch and haven't been able to find one to rent or borrow (we are down to only one tool rental outfit around here). Can't justify the expensive of an acetylene torch. Bernzomatic has a cheap MAPP/Oxygen brazing rig but the reviews are pretty much universally shitty. Starting to think grabbing the MIG and being done with it is the way to go. Let's assume this was a "high end" restoration. Would that be acceptable?
