Billy,

Just curious what size torch, tungsten and filler rod you use on sheetmetal. I've been welding on my 52 truck which has pretty thick metal, but I think I could still stand to go with smaller tungsten, tip, filler etc..

As always, the fab work looks fantastic!

Hey Brandon,

For the sheetmetal stuff I like to use 1/16" tungsten, with a #4 cup, and .045 filler rod. Hope that helps you out.
