Panel Replacement - Stupid Question

[ft bronc]

I never actually done panel replacement before & am wondering what you all are using to create the spot welds? Can’t imagine everyone has a spot welder in their garage.

what kind of panels? You mean like floor panels?
I use plug welds with my MIG with excellent results.
I have a video or two in a thread somewhere... oh here in this thread..

X3. Use weldable primer in between, and if it contains zinc, use a mask as it's poisonous.

Mig is the majority. Much more versatile than just a "spot welder".

110 MIG welder is the way to go. I bought a Hobart back in the late 80s. It saw minimal use up until a few years ago! It has earned its keep doing the 74 and now the 66. Glad i got it way back when.
