Welding is an important skill to learn when it comes to working on cars. Without the proper knowledge, a vehicle can be destroyed. Vehicle metals are thinner and harder to weld than thicker metals you will find with other types of welding. Warping the metal and/or weakening the metal is a major concern with automotive welding.

I have spent many years in the collision repair industry.  In this book I want to use what I know to introduce you to the basics of automotive welding..  Along with the knowledge you will learn in this book and a lot of hands-on practice, you will discover what it takes to weld on cars and car parts. 
Where Will I Use Welding In Auto Body Repair?

• Rust patch panel
• Partial replacement panels
• Quarter panels
• Sectioning parts
• Structural parts

What Kind of Welding Do I Need To Know?I am going to touch on several different methods of welding, but this books focus is MIG Welding.  MIG welding is the most common and used welding method in the collision repair industry.  In fact, the importance of MIG welding skills is stressed by many body shop owners for students to learn while attending a collision repair program. This book is written to provide the basic skills to weld.  However, it does not provide vehicle specific recommendations. Once you learn the basic skills, you will still need to check with all vehicle recommendations before welding as different vehicle manufactures may have vehicle specific welding procedures.
