    FNG to site and a roob to welding

    Hello, I am doing a little project repairing some holes in a 54 buick. I did take a welding class 20 years ago in trade school. But I dont remember much from it. I have done occasional welding with thicker steel with no problems. now i will be repairing 18 guage steel which is pitted and rusty. I know I need to clean it up really well. I will be looking for advice soon. I have a lincoln mig welder (120volts) I dont remember the model number off the top of my head. oh well, hope you can help when i need it!
    thanks,
    jerry in minnesota

    Welcome aboard, would recommend a Tig for this, but if you have a helper, and he can run two cold wet sponges on each side of the weld as the mig moves along, you can get a nice looking Mig weld with little warping.
