towards the front of the sunroof there are some decent sized holes rusted through the sunroof, I guess I can give it a try, see if my neighbor know how to do that hammering technique while using torches to get a really smooth weld, if not maybe a bunch of people can get together just to have some practice time with it.

did you puddle weld your pans or did you stitch weld them.

puddled welded them hand drilled every hole :thumbs:

that roof sounds like it can be fixed

Dude that sucks. I have a hand power punch and I thought was bad. I wish I had an air driven one.

It punches the holes as well as flanges for drop ins.

if the roof can be fixed then that make me a happy, as far as your puddle weld, did you start on one side like slammerd or in the center working out.

I will tell you that i am way better at ARC welding than Mig. I weld on my Concrete tools all the time but most of that is 1/4 inch steel my 110 wont weld to that it doesnt get hot enough maybe with a tank it would.

ok, 10 more and we be set. when you puddled starting in the center how much did you work up in the center before moving toward the outside,

I plug welded them in. I will do it a little differnetly with the car that I am working on now, in that I will do the plug welds, but then I am also going to run a continous weld along the tunnel.
