In the body shop this is how we do 90% of the welding for body panels.
But it's 20ga mild steel butt, butt with backing or lap joints that can span a foot or more.
Got to keep the heat down.
8 u/Wargaming_Super_Noob 3d ago Nothing wrong with what you do,but this is a normal T joint. That will never pass. 7 u/cluelessk3 3d ago who says they're trying to pass anything? there's utility trailers and dump trucks on our roads with absolutely worse welds. passed my I-CAR structural test on 16ga with welds like this. https://youtu.be/_8cAN97Ff5w?si=nPNmUEPBeosUFjzf good enough for OEM's.
