just a tip....after welding floor boards, quarter pannels, or relatively anything that has to do with the appearance of your truck.....if you are a perfectionist like myself might i suggest a tip.
if you are not the best of welders, or cant seem to get the fit up quite right and have left small voids ( this happens quite frequently when welding thin metals. even for professionals) instead of filling them in with epoxy...or in some cases nothing at all...break out your soldering iron, place some flux around the void and begin adding solder....this is easily filed down later and virtualy invisable after a finish is applied....it can also be used wherever non critical welds are made for appearance purposes, i am a proffesional and just want to pass this tip on to others....it works especialy well for exposed floor pans, truck beds, and the filling of any small unwanted holes (ie. un original mirror holes) so save the bondo for the nicks, and put some metal back where it belongs..... questions, comments,
