The largest repair that I have to do on my 242 is to replace a large portion of the rear passenger quarter panel. I already have an entire panel from a 242 that someone cut from a parts car they had, I am just nervous to get started on it.
I have a Century FC90 MIG, which is a flux core. I've heard from some that if I tack and let cool, I should be fine. I've done a bit of reading online, and seems like maybe flux core is a big no no for sheet metal? I don't really want to get another welder, but I guess I could do so if it is a requirement for this job.
Have any of you guys used flux core for this sort of repair? Any recommendations or shareable experience would be great!
Thanks!
