Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

I used the sanding disc in the picture (50grit). It chewed through the bulbus part of the weld pretty quick. I then changed up to a 36grit and I wish I led off with that! It also took everything down flat. Don't think I'd use a die grinder due to that.

Ahhhhh......you are using an angle head die grinder in the one pic. Die grinders come in a couple of different types. Straight, 45 degree, and 90 degree heads. Short shaft and long shaft. 12,000 rpms all the way to 80,000 rpms.

36 grit is pretty course. 50 grit is finer. I normally start with a 36 grit, and finish with a 80 grit. If I want it really smooth. I then move to a 120 grit.

Rusty, as always, thanks for the input!

I can't imagine stitch welding the ENTIRE car. lol. FWIW, both of my buddies at the shop told me not to do it. But... I was already elbow deep doing the rust repair and removing the false firewall. For someone considering doing some stitch welding, I really hope the stumble onto this thread.

Rusty

Stitch welding a whole car. You better have it in a jig that you can turn. It's no fun when you have to twist yourself in knots trying to get into position to weld.
