I think i have maybe 4 inches through out the entire car that are flux core welded. Probably closer to 3 total inches.. just a few small sports here and there.

I also believe that a 75% weld is acceptable if there is a gusset.

Contact them and see about having them run over and nail those little welds out for ya. Ive used a torch just like this before for welding in very tight places on the job. I know you are migging this, but you can finishthe job with one of these and it wont get all globber boogered up. 7375908-tigtorch.jpg (56 downloads)
