Thanks for the link. I will check it out. If just figured I would try here since with the pedigree and quality of cars that hang out here, someone restoring theirs would have probably found a way to do it. I would still be interested in hearing of anyone's successes here with this.

I heard of one guy using a pencil eraser during the priming stage to make a small dimple to look like the factory spot welds. I seen a picture and it looked real good.

I don't mean to HIJACK, but does anyone still use the resistance spot welders in resto's?

We have one here in my shop but it not one of the cheep ones. Its a pro spot brand and they are around 12k to buy. Thats how we build camaros here at the shop. It is an awsome tool. I have many pics but I don't know how to put them on this sight. If you want to see them I can email them to some body that can load them
