yup, never ever welded before..... i are a noob....
anyway, have you ever used a gas mig in place of the flux core wire? the difference in night and day, once you use gas, you will never go back to the flux core for ANYTHING. Its pathetic in comparison
As for the pans, you can weld thin sheet metal, without warping the hell out of it, grind it up and no one will ever know. However, i will agree that its a waste of time on a car like a 3rd or 4th gen ATM, the time involved is not worth it for a car that common. But its more than possible.
ever think about metal work and patch panels on the outside of the car? like putting a patch panel in a quarter/door/fender ect? thats really thin sheet metal too, and they are fully welded in, ground, hammered out and if done right, you will never know it was done. Of course you are not just running 1 long continuous bead the entire length and hoping the panel wont warp to hell, your just stringing a shat load of little beads all the way around to keep the heat out of the panel.
