The *BEST* best choice would be TIG, but they're rather expensive. The next-best would be MIG with gas (not flux-core! Get the gas!). Please, don't use ARC for your rockers .. save the stick welder for building trailers. Gas should be fine even with the heat -- you're honestly not worried about saving the paint, are you? =) Keith, if you're up for a fieldtrip to Portland this month you could watch and maybe get some hands-on with rocker replacement when we tackle that west-coast rustbucket Notch at DDB HQ.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
