spot welding
Has anybody here tried to use a spot welder for attaching body panels , i'd like to try to spot weld as much as possible when i install new panels on back of car, or should i just mig it in ? i was thinking on buying cheap spot welder. I was looking to try to save some preptime by not haven to punch alot of holes andnot having togrinddown all the mig welds. thanks

RE: spot welding
We had a spot welder in the body shop but the large jaws would not fit every where. We would use an easy grind wire (I think it had a high alloy content) and just a quick buzz with a rolox grinder with 40 grit and it was done. wire feed welds dont have to be huge if you do it right.

The few times I do it myself I have to do a mig. I can't weld wortha damn. But I've gota guy that has spot welded some of my mess and it turns out great. But I certaintly wouldn't want to try it.
