[quote=wbrowne] What I do is put a light behind the panel I'm welding so I can see the light shining thru the pin holes. Another suggestion is to do your grinding as you weld some sections instead of doing all your grinding at the end.uote]

That is exactly what I have been doing on all my other panel welds up to now. I was just getting tired of all that welding & re-welding so I wanted to find out if it would be a problem leaving some holes. With the materials they make today, like POR-15 why waste time if its not necessary. When I worked in bodyshops 25 years ago there were no products like what is available today to bond panel, prevent & stop rust etc.I do, however want to make sure its done right the first time because doing it over a couple years down the road will be a lot harder than doing it right today.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
