I was amazed at the stud welders, or whatever they call them, where they weld a stud or post onto the panel to pull it out.

Interesting.

Metalwork and bodywork are art forms to me. They seem to not only require physical skills, but the ability to understand where something is going and how to get there based on the tools or materials available.

Sort of like drywall finishing….

Have never welded but want to, but watching all those car shows suggests that the tack-welding-sheet-metal technique is the way to do it as the heat will warp the metal if you try to do continuous.

Solution:  Watch more cableTV car shows!

The solution to that was to not try to make a bead, but to just put a bunch or tacks all over the piece and then go back and put some more next to the last ones. Refer to cleaning the old slag above, and my attempts were more successful. That took a long time to figure out. It also stopped the blow outs, warpage and other troubles that build up of excess heat was causing. Go slowly with lots of stitches from quick little spots of heat.
