Re: 1960 Comet Project
Weld thru primer is a little tricky with MIG ,, simplest way I've found for my own novice bodywork thin steel panel patches was clamping slightly larger piece than hole, cutting with angle grinder or saw, fastening 'welding clamp's', and 'Easy Grind" MIG wire while using a copper weld backer. The '...

Re: 1960 Comet Project
I know this is sorta the wrong way to do a patch (instead of butt welding it flat), but I wanted to try something on the car. I primed both sides with weldable primer so it's sealed and started tacking it in. Any tips for patching like this if I need to on other parts? I noticed it was a lot more sp...

Re: 1960 Comet Project
Time for angle grinder, Zoot. Clean and shiny will hold the welds. Used to stick weld a bit when I was young and as Jim said, prep is everything. Joe Yup. I used an angle grinder to get that far with wire wheels. I'll keep going to see where it can get me. I suppose it really only needs cleaned tho...

Re: 1960 Comet Project
I've been given a few pieces of advice: white vinegar to neutralize the rust and/or a rust encapsulator. Can that be welded to?

Re: what did you do to your comet today?
Slow rust repair. Figuring this out. Getting quite a few recommendations for white vinegar, then more wire wheel and it should weld alright I suppose?

Re: 1960 Comet Project
So after some major pitfalls with the car's rust issue, which is far worse than initially thought, I've been working on the floor. The tunnel part is quite pitted, but it is strong as I can tell. If I made sure to get more of the rust out (unsure how yet, maybe chemically?), could it be welded to? N...

Re: 1960 Comet Project
Cool 8) I like your tool chest. You gave me a good idea :D JT Haha. I refinish vintage furniture for a living so I got a lot of it next to it! I paid $230+- for all 4 tires so they weren't expensive. The wider whites are much pricier. As for the rust, I just got done 14g steel for the frame. The dr...
