Hey Randy, I said before it was old school and was a good example of body work from back in the day. When I started doing body work there was no MIG it was gas or stick. Don't worrie a bit about the patches as long as they are clean they will be there long after the mig rust away.

That patch is 100 times better than I could do.


If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

Those patches look very good. Nothing wrong with braze. Looks like they will need very little body filler.

I just wanted to say publicly that I'm sorry I created drama. That was not my intent and I'm glad we are back to getting another fine Mopar looking good!

Looks good to me. It certainly was a widely acepted method back in the day. That does not mean it is still not good now. Looks awesome and I see no reason to sweat it.






the only negatives on the process that has reduced it's use are too much heat causes warpage and the acid in the flux working it way thru the finish in time. But there's not much stronger methods.

nice and clean looking job

Thank You,John!...and EVERYONE else,for the kind words! It's going to be like owning a NEW car,with the fresh paint,ALL NEW WIRING under the hood...and recently cnc-ported Eddy's adding a little more power! With the "aerodynamic" paint ..and some estimated 80 more horsepower from the head work...I just might get me some 10 second time slips...and look good doing it! Randy
