Think I can weld the hood on my M with a stick welder and 1/16" rods?
I can successfully weld 1/16" steel with a stick welder and the M hood is pretty thick stuff.
Ideally a MIG would be the answer, but I don't know anyone who owns one, and the body shop wants huge $$$ for a few minutes of work, and can't get to it for weeks.
I'm going to back the metal up with another piece the same thickness and do spot welds, just like with a MIG.
