  1. RE: extremepartiesllc - OEM "recommends" - that's the key word. It does not mean it's the ONLY welder that will work. It's not the tool, but the skill of the user. The spot welder is made by ARC, an American company. I'll pass aolong your comments to them and post their reply to be fair. BTW - Tom has been at this for 25 years and restored Concours competition cars, but never been in the collision business.

  2. that spot welder is junk!!!! i worked in a body shop for over 20 years.the glue is good as long as the panel is prepped right,the only welders OEM recommends are pro spot,hirane,elektron,car o liner,any time you have to keep hitting the same spot more than once it is a junk weld period.if i did this repair in the field and that customer gets hit and the weld fails,i am at fault.these are cheap hobbist welders,the others are expensive but do the welds right.

  3. don't quote me on it but i think thats just a special head on a mig welder

  4. I have a Danmig 220 volt its old as hell but works like a million bucks

  5. That glue is the way to go.

  6. Not only is that an adhesive; it is also a seam sealer which is very important on rocker panels. It keeps the water out and causing premature failure of those parts. I just did some rockers on a 1991 5.0 and that's the way it was done also. The particular one shown in the video also helps improve the tensile strength of the weld.

  7. I always thought you were NOT allowed to glue structural components on vehicles????
