Can't sleep post!

My welder.
I am using the flux core wire.
I do have gas but I haven't acquired the right connection fittings yet.

lqtm, is something I leaned on the internets, stands for "laughing quietly to myself".
Most of the time I'm not really "laughing out loud" (lol). So it fits.


Interesting about the Fusor stuff, never heard that before.

I don't have any power sanders.
I did the sanding all by hand.

You probably havent heard of it because alot of DIY people (when it comes to body work it seems) dont learn from people that actually know how to do collision repair the correct way.

If you can try to get a DA if you have a compressor that will run it. Otherwise there is a very good chance that you will see alot of your sanding scratches through the paint. The DA will sand in a very small "swirlly" patern if you will. So when it comes time for paint and primer if youve sanded with fine enough paper you wont see sand scratches. Judging just by the picture of your hood, which is sometimes hard to do since you cant see small things, the paint looks to be in good shape so you probably dont need to prime it. But it never hurts to.



EDIT: Also on your welding i noticed that you didnt sand any of that paint off before you welded, or at least it didt look like you did very far. It should weld better to clean bare metal instead of trying to go through paint.

Hope ive been helpful
