I was amazed at the stud welders, or whatever they call them, where they weld a
stud or post onto the panel to pull it out.
Interesting.
Metalwork and bodywork are art forms to me. They seem to not only require
physical skills, but the ability to understand where something is going and how

Have never welded but want to, but watching all those car shows suggests
that the tack-welding-sheet-metal technique is the way to do it as the
heat will warp the metal if you try to do continuous.
Solution: Watch more cableTV car shows!

Just get some new wire and start doing spot welds and don't try to run
long beads.
My younger son did a whole lot of that on the old 4Runner that we had
and did a pretty decent job rebuilding the metal over the rear wheel
arches and the rear quarter from the arch to the back of the panel.

I wonder just what that high strength steel really is. I thought that
chrome moly 4130 was high strength steel, and I weld it all the time (with
gas).

Wire feed welders are nicknamed glue guns
Cleaning the slag from a previous weld should be pretty easy using a welding
hammer and a wire brush. My experience welding was working as a
steamfitter/rigger for about a year on a powerhouse job along the Hudson
River (Roseton, NY)in the early 70s. Also took a course at a tech school.
I do ok
When I was rebuilding Miller “buzz boxes” during tech school we used 1/2 steel
plate scraps to test them out. That stuff is fun to weld with a stick welder
that puts out 400 amps.
Our fabrication guy used to win bar bets welding two pieces of aluminum foil
together with a Miller wire feed

Good report on your progress.
Welding 1/8th stock [.125 thousands thick] to 18 gage [55. thousands
thick] is a serious challenge for beginner..
The first problem you will have is to get enough weld heat on the .125
stock to penetrate without destroying the 55. material with that much
