I am not sure how extensive you want to get into this. but you might want to consider having it dipped to remove all the rust.if there is a bunch of it. it is expensive but there is no rust when they are done


as far as the welding=gas shielded mig= low heat= stitch the panels takes hours to do it right.

most important is be patient and take your time. 3 days to weld a panel is better than a 1 hr job that requires 30 hrs of body work. to fix it. been there made the mistake my self thin metal is time consuming.

hope this helps and good luck with your toy.
