Re: Replicating Factory Spot Weld Appearance
Thanks Mike. On your vice grip it looks like you layered up 5 pieces of something to make the dimple side of your die. What did you use for that?

Looks like a piece of threaded bolt to me,

Here are a couple of shots of the wheel well lips I did with the tool pictured in the previous post.   Today I made another tool that I like even better, the fe male bushing i used has a tighter ID and the male part of the tool is the end cut off a car door hinge pin. I also put a nut into the bushing to control the squish out on the back side. Check it out.     Hope this helps, have fun. Mike

Re: Replicating Factory Spot Weld Appearance
I have to agree, that does look really good. Especially the ones made with the newest tool. What did you use for the female side on the one you just made?
