Default New member from El Paso,Tx.

I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Craig from El Paso, Tx.
I am currently working on a 1954 Chevy pu.
The body is rusty but straight and fairly nice.
The cab corners are rusted out, however.
I have purchased reproductions and will be welding them in later.
Since I have a MIG welder, I was thinking that I would use the technique of spot welding across the seam, skipping around and using an air nozzle to cool it.
1. Do you think that using wet rags laid on the sheetmetal above and below the HAZ would be a better alternative than the air nozzle?
2. Is there a special kind of mig wire that is softer and easier to planish than the standard mig .023 wire?
