Arc Wedling?

row easy enough to get to. Then disconnect the battery and when welding it attach the welder ground as close to the area your welding as possible. I would not use a oxy acetylene torch, i would use a wire feed welder, like a millermatic 140

My friend who wanted to pop rivent a pice in my rotted floorboard scolded me when I said I had a guy who was going to weld the pieces in. He said: "Your car has sensative electronics in it ,never arc weld in it .." Would you get a strong enough weld with what you can do with just a blow torch? I didn't ask the body guy what he planned to do. How must this job be done? I think he mentioned 3/16the sheet metal but was busy till first week of September so i didn't ask many questions.

Thanks. I considered that removing the DME would be smart... what about unplugging the Radio?

never been a problem so far.... Bmw and other manufacturers also state to pull the computers if you have the car painted... The idea being that the heaters in the paint booth would raise the temp high enough to damage the computers.... I don't think they do that here in Arizona though as i've never seen one fail after a paint job.
