I am definitely out of my mind, but that is for a different thread. Here is what got me started. This is by Ron Covell.

It absolutely does not have the strength that carbon steel does. As with all things, I believe in the correct application it would have some advantages. I would not use it on anything structural. But, for some body mods I think it would do a nice job. IE. Filling door handles holes, parking light holes, smoothing firewall, etc. I also read that body shops are moving this direction when welding high boron sheet metals. This material is heat treated and supposedly using the silicon bronze reduces the heat input and does not affect the material properties as much as carbon steel filler. I'll get some pictures shortly of what I am doing.
