Thin panel welding, need more info. What panels are you welding? Hard to quote unseen work.

around 10 lineal metres of welding panel steel! i realy dont know how else to explain it.....
but i guess if some ones local and in Sydney it would be easy enough to come check it out first!

Not close but a question to make things easy. Is everything ready to weld or is there grinding, cutting, folding involved as well. Are all welding areas bare metal. Are there big gaps to fill. Are any areas hard to get to.

everything will be cleaned of paint etc and ready to weld up!
no big gaps
no grinding
no folding or cutting
and all areas are easy to get to!

all panels will be lined up, tacked on and ready to weld!

Why dont you get an old pnel and give it a go yourself the trick is to weld in small busts sort of like tacking it but just keep going along your weld if it is a large panel have a wet rag and keep cooling the area around where your are working to stop any distorting

thanks for the offer bud but would prefer someone local to save on stuffin round!

if the missis wasnt so ill id definatly be in on that!
cheers again bud!

maybe get some pictures so other blokes can look at what they need to do.
if noone on here steps up just ring a mobile welder.
they should only be about 30-50 an hour and if theres only 4hrs itll be 200 or under.and thats gettin a profesional finish.

did you need it flap disked down and primed after its welded?

no other work to be done bar welding!
ill flap it down etc and heres what has to be welded but also the paneling which will be tacked on by this monday!

So thats a flat panel to be welded all round at the back there. Does the panel have any reinforcing like folds or swaged edge to help prevent warping of the sheet? You might get away with just tacking and using a good quality silocone if sheet overlaps.
