Many (30+) years ago Smith Equipment made a powder spray torch that was used
for applying hard surfacing. I don't know if they still have it in their
catalog, but it sounds similar.

This is listed in "Old Car Weekly" and I quote from the article
"Rustbusters"wire feed spray welder allows the shop to repair rusted areas
faster than cutting a panel out and welding a new one in. No bondo,
fiberglass, or patch panels, By spraying pure metal onto the sandblasted
areas, rust holes are filled in, while the surrounding area is galvanized.
The metal bonds mechanically to cars body at 40,00 lbs. PSI, and can be
applied as fine as one thousandth of an inch to one foot thick, the method
can be used anywhere metal rusts.

This should be a big help for the restorer if the price is allowable. "FT"
