Ken don't let him do it with a torch! I've done panel replacement and
patching in the past with braze and its the least desirable method for
this.
My 71 frame off project involved floors, rockers and the rocker end
caps. I borrowed a spot welder from work (like the one in Eastwood) and
spot welded all my joints. Looks like factory.
On my 74 I also have floors, inner and outer rockers and some minor
bulkhead repairs and I plan to either borrow the spot welder again or
plug weld with a Mig welder.
Replaced MGB inner rockers, outers, castle sections and the
reinforements. This is a big job on a "B" I did all the repairs by plug
welding with a mig welder.
In order of preference
1. Spot weld if possible
2. Plug weld with a Mig and continuous weld were necessary.
