Great job, guys! This convertible is looking really good, and it's come a long way!

Hi Doug and Dale! Love the progress! I can't wait to make some good progress on my 68 vert. Had to redo some old accident repair. Looking good!

Thanks, we're enjoying the journey!

I'm at the exact same stage with my 64. I watch what you do then go up to my shed & copy it. Thanks for the inspiration; its like having a couple of supporting mates (who weld a little better than I do). Mind saying what your MIG settings are?

That's so great to hear! We actually hoped when creating the channel that it might help encourage somebody. If we knew how much welding this car needed before we started, we never would have started because my welding skills weren't good enough. but with enough practice it's steadily gotten better. I'm using a Lincoln Wed-Pak 100 which has settings A - B - C - D for ams and a 1-10 dial for wire speed. For most sheet metal I use B for amps and 4.5 for wirespeed. For really thin sheet metal or sheet metal that was rusty and is extra thin then I'll drop it down to A - 3 or 3.5. I hope that helps. If you ever want to share pictures of your project, we'd love to see. Feel free to send them to [e-mail]
