I went ahead and TIG plug welded the outer wheelhouse. I did use Seymour weld through primer. The welds don’t look pretty, but will definitely hold. I should have just skipped the plug welding and made a few lap weld beads and been done with it. It’s not a visible area.
I will use 3M 08115 epoxy for the quarter panel on the more visible joints like the wheel arch.
One thing I’m still trying to understand is why the factory used a brass tack weld where the quarter panel attaches to the rocker panel. Anyone any theories or knowledge about this?
