Nice video! I have actually been doing a lot of automotive welding here lately. My day and I are restoring a 1969 Ford pickup and we are in the process of cutting the rust places out and replacing it with new steel. You have to be very careful and keep the heat down so you don't warp the steel.

You're suppose to make tack welds instead of full beads. Keeps it from blowing through and warping the panel.

Did he say to make full beads or was he demonstrating how to lay one down?
