What do you use to hold the tiny patches while you weld em?

You gotta be ninja quick, either that or use a screwdriver, a plyers, a chunk of scrap metal or what ever is in reach when you spark the weld. really once you get it tacked in one spot you don't have to hold it anymore.

Sweet! Had a '67 GTX years ago. Wish I still had it.

I always thought that that body style would be a classic as the body lines are over the top in my opinion. I owned a 1967 Belvedere II wagon, which is like comparing Apples to Oranges, but the lower body design is he same.

Certain older wagons are bringing big $ these days, gaining huge popularity as build material.

yeah those have been popular for dacades, but it's starting to spread to 64 and older impala wagons, that vintage of full sized ford wagons, prety much anything with some body lines and a little style without glued on wood grain.

Well, I am not ancient enough to be able to recall that one, so I did a quick search to satisfy my curiosity. This car is older than me (and much better looking!): Looks pretty sweet to me! No wonder prices are high... You can see the rest of the pictures of this car Here, Carbuffs (and this baby is for sale right now) John

That is what makes these cars so nice to look at and as you say they are classic.

What do you use to hold the tiny patches while you weld em? Don't do body work - but a thought hit my evil little brain - could you spit out a long wire from your wire-feed, cut it off, and have a handle? Mark
