For an inexperienced welder(MIG gas) what is the best way to weld cab corners? This is my first attempt at welding body panels and I want it to be successfully done. The spot welds have all been removed and I'm at the point where I need to remove the corners and weld the new ones. Can I lap weld this and have it look decent or is butt welding the answer?
I've been looking for some examples on the WEB that might illustrate a way to do this but haven't been successful in finding any. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
