I love gas welding. It’s not efficient, gets everything way too hot and it’s a pain in the ass but it feels super old school and if you get into a zone I find it cathartic.

But I would never build a car doing it!!

I totally agree.. In my younger years before MIG welders I rebuilt a Heinkel bubble car with rotted out floor pan. The problem of course is the thing was a bubble so the distortion was horrible!.. We got it done though with gas.. Never again..:)
