Repairing a rust hole in a WWII jeep body part can be
accomplished
by either replacing the rusted panel by spot welding in a new panel or
by
butt-welding in a patch. Butt-welding in a patch piece is more
labor
intensive in some cases, but it preserves more of the originla body
metal.
The link below brings you to a list of 15 pictures
that
show the work done in chronological order to repair a rust hole in a
Willys
MB driver-side step. The tub is upside down to facilitate the
repair
and has already been sandblasted. The tools used are a gas
shielded
mig welder, a small die grinder with a cutting wheel to remove the
damaged
area, tin snips to make the repair part, hammer and dolly, and angle
grider
to remove the weld beads. View the images from the top of the
list
to the bottom to see the work unfold.
