Welding 101 on ol Curt

[ol Curt]

Well, I thought I would try a small repair using the welder. I had a rusted thru/pitted area at the top of the rear wheel cutout on the bedside panel. I thought I would try to cut it out and butt weld another piece in.

I took the first picture and found the batteries were then dead in the camera. That should have been my first clue, but I pushed on!

I had the batteries re-charged by the time I finished and was quite proud of my first try. I saw one spot that I thought I could make look a bit better if I put a small tack there to fill it in and grind it back down.......that metal is VERY thin after all that grinding!!! What a dumb a**

I guess I'll have another little spot to cut out and patch.
