I need to replace the door posts on my '77. I bought an inexpensive Dual Mig Welder from Harbor Freight figuring the cost could easily be made up on the first job.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how difficult do you rate the job? I have replaced the floorpans in my '65 Mustang before. I did all the removal and fitting of the new metal, but I only watched my father-in-law weld them in. He ran a full bead around the edges for the most part.
I plan on spot welding in, at a minimum, the new door posts which doesn't sound all that difficult to me.
Are there any other simpler options to removing the door posts(patching, reinforcing)???
Wire size/type recommendations?? I don't have gas, but my welder will accept it.
On a scale of 1 to 10 for the R&R process having never really welded before.........??????
**I did actually do a little oxy-acetylene welding a few years back
Thanks
