Newbie From Kansas.
Hello all! TJ from Kansas. Worked 15 years in the autobody industry and now working as a natural gas compressor mechanic. Restoring a 1950 chevy deluxe that Ive chopped the top on and am wanting to learn how to shape sheet metal better and how to metal finish my welds properly where little to no filler is required. Open to all feedback both positive and neggative. Thanks for having me!

Thank you very much guys! I do have a question. I have a o/a torch set up and a mig welder. Im not good at all at welding with the torch. Should I get a tig welder (something Ive used a little bit in the past) or learn to gas weld? Is there a way to metal finish mig welds? I know that a mig weld is hard and will crack if hammered to much. Please point me in the right direction.

I use gas for most of my work...
   You can weld steel, aluminium or brass. David
