Looks great. What kind of welder are you using for the sheet metal repairs? I'm using a 220v mig with .025 wire and 75/25, and had a hard time butt welding my door sections using the metal clips in your pictures. Wasn't sure if it was just me, or if I needed a smaller mig w/ .023, or a tig. Tx!

I'm using a 110v 135 MIG from Hobart with .023 wire 75/25 mix. Try having more "stick out" on the wire out of the nozzle with the 220v. Practice on a scrap piece butted together with the clamps and start close with a tack weld. Then, start having more wire sticking out on the next tack and so on. You will find a length that puts just the right amount of heat/penetration that gives the best weld. On 20ga. and thinner you can really only tack to keep from blowing out or warping.

I ended up using a similar method, and had decent results, but wasn't 100% happy with it. I'm going to borrow a friend's Hobart 135 w/.023 to see if it is any easier. Appreciate it!
