I did some welding today on my 53 Willys Aero [ Since I am out of work I've been trying to do the metal work as cheaply as possible. So I've been using old computer cases and some angle steel I found in my fallen down barn. Since I like doing things the hard way (more like don't have any cash for Argon) I've been using up a bunch of welding rod that is laying around to weld up the car. Welding rusted up paper thin metal is tough with an Arc welder
The welding isn't pretty but it is solid. Some grinding should take care of the ugliness. This is my first attempt at welding sheetmetal with a stick welder.
This car is definitely the rustiest thing I've tried fixing so far. It is a unibody, which is more of a challenge to fix over a car with a frame in my opinion.
