She's LUMP! Restore or Part/Scrap? FABO Help!
I have all the patches and tank is out just need one vital thing. The ability to weld.
I watched a good friend weld on and off over the years (helper) but never welded. I soldered electronics in the air force.
Last spring I bought a used wire (non gas) welder that runs off 110. IMPORTANT: Before welding; Use safety gear, helmet, gloves and welding shirt, long sleeves, boots jeans, etc. Follow instructions. Start on scrap steel. Clean metal of paint rust etc. Just start prcticing spot welds first. Burn a hole through the metal? switch to low and up the speed of wire feed. Won't spark? Check ground.
Don't become ground yourself! Weld on dry pavement in a dry area, away from flamables and fuel tanks.
You will be suprised how easy it is.
Like everything, the more you do, the better it turns out.
Later on it will be like caulking a window!
Watch some welding videos on utube!
It helps. I watch the how to's all the time.
Having the metal pcs is the first step, and practice on scrap first.
Have a good one and good luck to ya.
