Evolution II.....SEFI upgrade ..... updated 10-23-2015 Reply #152 – December 26, 2010, 09:12:47 PM I got one, but the backing plate will ensure that the panel won't warp... acts as a heat sink. If you use that tool it won't fit behind existing panels that are already welded, like next to the wheel well... plus you can only use it on flat panels, not curved panels like the lower parts of our cars, they will distort and warp before you even start welding them... it does has it's place though.....I use it where I can, and always use it to punch hole. give it a try.... you'll use a fraction of the filler when your done....My 87 has about a half a quart of filler on the entire car... just remember that every time you use it, you distort the panel your working on to some degree....

Evolution II.....SEFI upgrade ..... updated 10-23-2015 Reply #154 – December 26, 2010, 09:40:54 PM everybody has their own way of doing things... I've been doing it this way since the mid 80s... High end shops will still do it this way, unless instructed to "butt weld" the panels by the customer. it's very quick, with no warping, tapping, straitening, or fixing. If the end product comes out the same, then that's what is important... Quote Selected
