Wow, I am impressed!!! The sand blast method, do you load up a few layers of duct tape at the cut line? Do you blast inside and out? How do you smooth the edges? What kind of wire do you use in your MIG? I have found that the bead is incredibly hard after welding and needs some serious grinding. How do you metal finish the hard weld? I am currently patching up a rusty Bug and the MIG works much better than the TIG. One small speck of contamination and it blows through with the TIG. I look forward to seeing the car completed.
