I've been replacing sheetmetal on my new beater 55 with a little Lincoln Mig that I borrowed from a friend. It just ran out of gas (sunday of course). I still have an open hole in the roof that needs to be patched today (I live near the beach and this car is outside - it will be very wet tonight). I have a Bunch of flux core wire that I could use, but I have used it on other cars and it always wants to rust real quickly.
Is there anything I can do to minimize the rusting when using this stuff? This car is ugly with plenty of other rusty places, but the hole I need to finish patching is right over the driver (don't really care if the passengers get wet), and I don't want to cut my new patches out in a couple months when it looks the same as it did yesterday.
Any suggestions? Just clean up the weld really good and get some decent paint on it??
