I got the door skin today,and it is flanged at the top near the belt in the sheetmetal on the door,so the splice is predetermand by the maker of the door skin.I did not know it was flanged and ordered a flanger to make the splice a little easier.My welder has .035 wire and it tough to weld the sheetmetel with because it so hot..023 wire would be much better,but the drive roll for my welder for that wire is hard to find.
