I do TIG. MIG, stick, flux welding often on trucks.


run a ground rod into the ground and use a jumper cable to ground the frame close to your weld areas.


disconnect matteries


disconnect (once the batteries are disconnected), the two main connectors to your computer.


TIG would be a better choice for body panels.

Disconnects before welding

Thanks for the info, I have a tig welder as well and will use it for this project. Great Idea about the grounding rod.

Thanks
