Bodywork question.
I have just about finished welding in my custom firewall and was wondering what I should use to fill in the little gaps where the two pieces of metal were joined. Can I get the same stuff that VW used to seal there welds. If not what then.

You can stitch weld it ( a little here, a little there so you dont warp it, then grind it smoth. Or go the an auto body supply and buy some seam sealer.

I'll try the seam sealer since it already looks like frankenstien with the zillion spot welds on it. Thanks very much.

:whoops:
I set my car on fire welding the fire wall in. Luckily I looked up and saw the orange fire coming in through the pop-out window mounting holes. I shut off the welder and used some compressed air to blow the fire out and them some water for good measure. I think I'll call it a night.

Were was your fire extinguisher.
Don't feel too bad. I was clearancing my case for the 2275 in my shop last week, very carefull to clean up the dust and chips from the case and workbench but forgot all the dust on my shirt, hit the stud insert with a sanding disc on my 90 grinder, shot sparks on my shirt and had a small magnesium fire on my chest . So much for that shirt.
