It will never happen again! Ha!<br /><br />When I need to add material in relatively small amounts like this, it is kind of a toss-up on using MIG or TIG-brazing to build up the edge. In this case, MIG is much quicker and involves very low heat input and has the advantage of being much easier to do when the door is on the car. If I needed to add a rod along the edge like on the deck lid, then I would have definitely gone to TIG-brazing without question.<br /><br />Many thanks for the continued support Dennis! And best of luck in all of your new adventures in Canadia!SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-43744526702449201362015-01-27T09:30:10.598-05:002015-01-27T09:30:10.598-05:00"little intricacies". That's a new ..."little intricacies". That's a new one to describe an aftermarket part's discrepancies. I am curious Sven about the filling of the metal. I thought you might have used that TIG brazing method you used on the trunk lid that worked so well. I'm guessing the gap wasn't as big with the doors. This post is a prime example to explain to people how much effort goes into the minute details of a build. You're probably tired of me saying it, but I will anyway... excellent work...again!!!deo1929https://www.blogger.com/profile/06637879831843277574noreply@blogger.com
