    It's mostly because I have some concerns about how my body guy can weld a patched in hardtop quarter on a sedan, etc. I was thinking, if he could possibly get a good fit, and tack in place with a MIG, I could try and gas weld and planish the rest. The guy he had working for him quit, so now I'm worried.
