I agree too.. But where on the car was that taken.. I can't quite figure it out...

That first pic is of the rear 1/4 panel that was just rusted right through. I cut out the rust, bought a new 1/4 panel from www.millsupply.com I had my uncle weld and i think the problem was that he used wal-mart wire with the mig welder. Idk. Theyse are kinda like 1-2 month old pics (i just not got them developed) so ive grinded them smooth, applied fiberglass bondo +regular bondo over them and sanded smooth. Cant even tell now

I think my very first weld looked better

In all seriousness that weld is horrible, but it looks as if the car is coming along !

Yeah man, how far are you into it now? What are your plans for it?

Hey thanx. This is prety much the first time that I have shown my car (5.7) on here. I have new 91-92 front fenders, 91-92 GFX including new bumper and front chin piece, i also have a new inner bumper. I took off the original 3 piece spoiler on the back, welded them shut, and smoothed them out so that i can put on a high rise. I have a new Big Block hood from hawks. I have new APC seats with new carpet and a Megashifter. A new dash pad and grant wheel. Cooper Ties with American Racing rims. and inside the plastic sacks around my exhaust i have 4th gen tips.

Most mig welds look kinda sloppy till you grind them down you cant weld a solid beam on panels or you will warp them.

ok last one!

83_Camaro_83

looks alot better Bet you cant wait till the whole thing is done.

TexasLT1

well of course you can't weld a single weld the length of the panel, thats why you stitch weld it in short sections. they will still look good though.

Oh come on now. I think the end result looks prety good!

TexasLT1

oh yeah, I'm not knocking the end result, it came out a lot better than I thought it would. I was just commenting on what he said about Mig welds looking bad.
