Re: 1966 GMC 1000 - Making it Mine!
Tried something new again this weekend in the garage. This time with my Flux Core Welder.
I have 4 holes in each door from old west coast mirrors that were missing when I bought the truck. If I am gonna paint it, I might as well fill in these holes first.

First step was to flap-disk them down to remove the ridge and the paint around them... I then tried something that came up in my Facebook feed last week from Bondo Billy... welding them up with flux core.

This is .030 flux core wire in a cheap Harbor Freight welder on low. It looks pretty ugly at first... and I blew more holes in it practicing... but once you clean and flap-disk them down again... looks better!

These should take body filler WAY better than the original holes. Now to do the rest of them!
