Good point stang. Over the years I have gotten frustrated with folks who don't post their location. I don't want to be rude to them about it, but if they post the location it helps a lot when you're trying to help them.
I too would try to help someone close by.

Quick question for you. I went and bought a welder yesterday. I am going to weld the holes in my truck. After I weld it, I want to make sure I do the right thing. Are these the right steps?
Grind down the weld.
Brush it with a wire brush
Sand it down with 80 grit
Sand it down again with 220 grit, then 320 grit, then 400 grit
Prime the area and then sand down the primer.
Paint the area
I want to make sure I prep the area well after I weld it. let me know your thoughts...thanks for your advice

1 weld shut
2 grind close to flush with hard disk grinder
3 finish grinding with 40 grit floppy disc
4 DA with 150-180 grit and feather it out.
5 prim (may need a little spot putty)
6 sand with 320-400
7 Paint it.
