I will be doing this to my 72 C/10 in a couple weeks. I have some experience in welding but not a lot. I will be using a Mig wire feed of a buddies. Do you have any pointers or things to watch for when doing this? Any info is much appreciated.

Measure, measure, measure then measure again. Just use tack welds every inch or so then come back and tack in between. Let the metal cool to prevent burning through with the welder.

Always test your welder on a p[piece of scrap the same as what you want to weld. Mig welders will change from day to day depending on humidy ect. here is a web site that will go over the basic things with mig welding

Practice a little bit before you weld on you patch and you will do it with no problem.
