sheet metal welding 200

I'm ordinarily not a negative sort of person, but...

Are you planning on using the Lincoln Weld-Pak unit, as opposed to the commercial grade? Sheet metal is really hard to do with one of those Lincoln consumer units. It's hard to do, period. And you might not have the level of control you need with undersized equipment.

Also: I'd make darn sure the metal on your car isn't of the galvanized variety. You breathe zinc fumes from welding galvanized metal, you can die, simple as that. Destroys your liver and whatnot real quick.

Might be a lot better idea to replace the fenders, instead of trying to repair them. You'd still have to do some welding in the tail, but it would be a manageable amount.

2 cents worth of advice... from another amateur welder.
