I thought I was in Delve, an article about fixing rust in the body had your classic cars, this is a big problem if your buying or own a classic cars that came from a place near the sea, or in a place where they use salt on the streets to the snow, rust in most cases will melt under the car and start it right up to destroy everything in it is the path along the way, nothing to stop rust or slow it down in its efforts to destroy your classic car body.
There are a few ways to fix itRust problems in the car, but first they must find, you can by running after bubbles in the painted surface of the car, and do not take it lightly if you can find it, it does not look and think just because it seems only may on the surface that it will rust to hide in cracks, seal them appear under the carpet, or any place else that they think the rust knows that you do not want it in your car, they look like like a doctor would look for a cancer.
To check how badis the rust, make a body hammer with a pick on one end, and end use, the slightly rusty spot, you have found, tap, if the metal seems like it is soft and easily moved, this area now needs to resolve, in some cases, you will be a hole in the area, do not knock your joke tap on the hammer, not worry about it, it will not last long if you have fix the rust hole in the right way .
What you need to do the job, is a, air compressor, a mill with a knife bladefact, do yourself a favor and make sure that you are cussing more than a blade for a windmill, then you have the table made of metal, the same salary as your car if you do not know what salary to you who also need a 5 "air grinder with a 40 grit disc inserted to make the welds done with, then you need to buy a metal-Gage control tool, and last but not least, you will find a MIG welder with a lot of gas and Wire must, there are other possibilities, a place with no rust one welder fix, but I think they arenot as reliable.
Now that you have all your tools together and your courage to the right level where you begin working, you need to know to determine how big the rusted area, by tapping with the pick end of this body hammer until you run land on all sides of the rust, do not seem to be soft, or how they have no power to it, once you've figured out how big the area is rusty, you must get a sharpie and draw a line around the rusted area, about 2 "in the goodMetals are located around the rusted area, so you do not know that the rust away if you cut it, is rust too easily welded, so make 100% sure that the whole road is gone.
Now that you can cut your line, have all pulled out with a sharpie, will advise the mill in the air-source plug, now a word from here, do not try everything all at once, put a light cut along the line that you drew with the sharpie, then repeat the process of execution of the mill alongthis line until the rusted area falling out of the car, now that the rusted metal is out of the car, you take the rusted piece of metal and set it to take on your new sheet, that sharpie with you on the draw primarily , in order to cut with the rusty piece of metal you draw a line around it with the sharpie, cut with the same process that you are not on the rusty spot in your car, the good piece of metal from the grinding machine.
The cube has a grinding rough edges on the back of the leftgood piece of metal, you, need to clean that up, is the best way to do this to take that 5 "mill on the 40 grit disc and run it lightly over the back of the metal, until all the drills are gone, now you'll need that 5 "grinder with the 40 grit disc and clean the area on your car if you cut the grate our own, make sure that you have 2" of naked bare metal have about the area you cut.
Now assume that a good piece of metal that you cut from yourSheet metal repair, and set it in the hole that you cut out of the car, I mostly use the new metal visegrips to hold it in position, which is now, where do things a little difficult to devote so much attention to this section can ensure that you are a good place to have brought the ground terminal for your welder, if you do not really see a place near your job, then take the 5 "air grinder and make a, make sure that the bracket has a solid connection.
Plug in the welder andMake sure that the gas is turned on, as I generally run the wire feed and current rate at about 3 or 4 on my MIG, but this may be different on your computer, do yourself a favor and test it before you it to your car, now that we are all ready to go, you visegrips operation of metal instead of welding, and you have your setup right, your going to want to make a 1 "bead at the top, bottom, running, and both pages, and then you can visegrips from the road.
Now you have fourWelds instead of holding the patch panel to advise now heres a little more, MIG welders very hot, and it is possible to place the metal in your car chain when welding the patch panel so that no more than weld 1 " pearls on a time and motion from top to bottom, run a 1 "seam on the top of the patch, and then cool it with a little air, and not a 1" seam on the bottom and cool it off and make the Same with pages until you get a solid bead all the wayaround the patch panel, you've now fixed your rust problem, all that remains is the goal of the work on the welds.
Grab your 5 "air grinder with 40 grit disc and grind the welds flat, in most cases, you should not even be able to weld to see if you got it right, work is now complete, I'm on the move Körperarbeit part in a later article.
