do you completely weld up every gap till no holes remain or is it ok to leave some tiny gaps and fill in later when you do the body filler work. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 154 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 154 | Fill them in, only leaving the gap's to keep the heat down when welding in the panel initially to stop distortion, should be a solid weld when finished, Zeke
