in a way it is sort of really cool. If you continue to salvage the skin from microwaves, you may be able to sell the car in arizona for mucho dinero. Wonder what gauge that stuff is and would it work to patch Gump?
"AZ rust-free car"? Could just dip the entire car and electrolytically remove all rust. Rust-free wouldn't then be hole-free, but it would be true and much easier to do than cutting and welding! Certain components probably would not like it though. The microwave metal is thin: 0.022", circa 25ga, thinner than the car's sheet metal. (The 22ga [.030"] I bought was thicker, and easier to weld.) Also, being painted it is _much_ harder to weld to cleanly. Removing the paint with a rotary wire brush is a pain, and necessary. I'm sure it could patch Gump, though it's harder to do than with thicker metal. Being thinner it wouldn't last as long, of course. On a heap, who cares? It's a big step up from beer cans and caulk, and the price was right. -- Jim
