I know this could go on the main forum, but figured it'd fit better down here, as it's more about welding than it is about Cub's specifically.
My first vehicle, many years ago, was a '39 Chev. P.U. with balloon fenders. One of the back fenders had a tear in it from vibration, and I figured I could just get it welded and then learn how to re-finish it. Was told that wouldn't work, as, as because of what the welding did to the metal, the rip would just come back right along the weld.
So, my question is, with advances in welding in the last 46 years, is there a better way, or what would be the best way, to make this repair on sheet metal that is exposed to vibrations? Thanks, Curt
