My wife got me a stud welder for Father's day, still learning but making small progress, this was about 4 hours of work.

I'm hoping its not too rough being my first time doing this major of body work.  I have a goal of a cool car show in downtown Greensboro, NC that is in September.

I am also leaning pretty heavy towards plastidip
