I'm preparing for my first actual metal panel replacement. I have done fiberglass/bondo and it came out ok, but I'm looking at some pretty bad rocker panels and they will need serious work.
There are a couple of really excellent threads on this procedure, actually, they are one reason why I am doing this, it doesn't really look that difficult. So, I am going to start buying tools, and would like opinions and recommendations.
The welder I am looking at is a Lincoln MIG/Gas
I have angle grinders and such, I was thinking about doing prep with a sandblaster. I would actually be buying a similar tank type from the local pawn for $100.
Paint will be spray can primer and I'm thinking some kind of liquid bedliner material. Thoughts on that?
I'm trying to get this all set up in advance because the summer months are short in MN and this is hardly my only project. Any and all advice welcome and appreciated!
