  I know this is an old video but I would have to rate it as one of the best on how to MIG weld.  Simple, concise and to the point.  I’ve learnt so much.  Thanks heaps!

  I used to do autobody repair back in the 70s and most shops only had acetylene and oxygen welding equipment. It got the job done but it took a bit of skill to avoid warping of the area during welding. Also, the flux from the brazing rod had to be removed perfectly or else it would cause problems with the body filler. I had a spot welder at my shop which was really helpful. I wish that I would have had a MIG welder at the time. I lived in the rust belt and this welder would have saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank you for the video.

  Some people are going to complain about a chance for rust to develop from moisture being trapped by those flange pieces placed behind the repair panel in the example.  The thing to remember is just how long do we want the repair to last. The rest of your lifetime, or for as long as you expect to keep the car?   I personally don't care if the repair is going to last for 20 years, I'm 66 years old.  Make it easy on yourself.

  I have learned more watching your videos than I did in autobody 1 and auto custim painting in high school. So I am going to get brave and restore my 91 Bronco. <br>Years of painting taxi cabs my buddies think I can&apos;t do real bodywork. So with your videos we will prove them wrong.

  As a part time and old school car repairer, I had increasing need to use the MIG welder. But I did find getting the right advice on welding technique hard to find. Also, without regular practice I find can make unnecessary mistakes when painting or welding. This is a really useful video, I use it , like many from Eastwood, as a quick refresher course before I dive into another major job.
