Finally got to weld the Citroen repair section in, so shot a few photographs to show the process that works for me.
Once the repair has been formed, I carefully offer it up and mark out my cut lines, time here is well spent as the closer the joint the easier the weld will be.
When I'm happy with the fit I usually tack weld things in place using mig, it's so much faster than any other process I've tried.
Next the mig tacks are ground down, and the joint once again checked for alignment , dressing any problem areas with hammer and dolly until it all looks good.
Tig welding next, using 1mm electrode at 30 amps, and 1mm rod, sometimes I just go for it and weld the joint, or I run a series of welds like these.
After the area has cooled naturally, I go over the area lightly with a hammer and dolly, just to start getting any weld distortion -shrinkage- to start to lift up.
The top of the weld is dressed to remove a little of the excess on both sides of the joint before planishing out either by hand or using the cp hammer.
Firm strikes with the hammer will slowly bring things back to line, the flexible rule showing low areas, as things get close the hammer strikes are a lot softer, and tiny low areas that show are brought up with a rounded pick end of the hammer, again striking gently against a suitable shaped dolly.
Once the surface is back where it should be, I either file the surface, or run a linishing pad over the joint to clean everything up, finally using a mini DA to smarten up the finish.
Hope that answers a few questions?
Particularly for @alexandrodecuba who asked for the sequence a little while ago.

I have bought this #citroën #23r Today. Would be great if somebody knows more about the history and coachbuilder. #alphonsruyl #ruylclassics #lecafemexciq #cafemexico #citroen23 #classiccitroen #frenclassic #moteurflottant #citroends #vintagecitroen #citroenvintage #classictruck #onlyonceoriginal #1954 #petrolicious #drivetastefully #getoutanddrive #citroends #coachbuilder
Got the 1970 cuda in @axaltarefinish 2580CR epoxy primer. In my opinion theres nothing better to put over bare metal. the zinc chromate in this stuff sticks to metal like glue! @paddockspaintworks1 @axaltarefinish @autometaldirect #plymouthbarracuda #cuda #70cuda #sheetmetal #sheetmetalfab #restoration #restomods #doitrightthefirsttime #yougetwhatyoupayfor #icanfixthat #aftermarket #restorationshop #hotrod #hotrodshop #coachbuilder #coachbuilt #mopar #moparornocar #moparracing #builtnotbought #metalfinishing #metalshaping #metalwork #metalfab #sheetmetalfab #detroitmetro #macombmi
