more A-pillar pics  wasn't to bad the AMD part matched all lines for the most part.  bottom of AMD panel is a little skinner then original but workable.

You're doing excellent work! Your spot welder looks like a really handy tool to have!

Yeah, digging up an old thread...

I'm considering buying one of those 110V spot welders. Any issues or concerns I should be aware of?

Super nice job, BTW.  :2thumbs:

I bought one of the HF 220V spot welders, very handy but very heavy. I really like it for putting together smaller subassemblies where I can spot weld 2 panels together with the welder on the bench.

Past Mopars
9 x Challengers. AAR Cuda, 4 RR, 2 GTX, 4 Chargers, etc... (too many to list)

I'm looking at the Harbor freight 220v model to do my quarter panels and tail light panel.  29lbs seemed heavy but what do you guys think?  Is it worth the effort and easier that working plug welding?
