I need some advice on how to repair the quarters on my 76 TA. I have patch panels and trunk drop-off panels (originals are also rusted thru). I have a Lincoln Weld-pak with MIG conversion kit and am a complete newbie to welding with it.
Thanks, TA76 Drivers-side  Pass-side  http://www.angelfire.com/al/TA76/ http://www.bhamfbody.com |

Take your time with it and dont weld too much at a time or it will warp. I used a lincoln weld pak 100 wire welder with flux core. do a spot and move down about 3-4 inches and so on till its all welded up. cant stress enough to take your time. welding really heats up metal fast. A buddy of mine whos welded everything says that when you are welding it should sound like bacon frying. veiw my car and the 1/4s cut in at.

Also check the patch panels to make sure it has the right contour in it. I believe when my buddy did his 76 the panels were straight and had to be rolled slightly to be exact.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
