I have a 79 Trans Am that needs some patch work. I forget what kind of MIG rod I need.
Do you use the copper colored Er70S-6 for common body panels (L-56 from Lincoln Electric)?
Also, do you use the .30" or .25" wire?
I know after 80 they had a certain level of HSS in the metal that might be degraded with a high weld temp. I wanna make sure I get the correct type and size. I think what I have in the MIG now is too heavy because it requires a lot of heat that burns right through my patch metal...I think need something thinner.
General question: Do the older cars like mine use the mild steel or the heavier steel?
Thanks!
