What's up you guys?
Did some research and couldn't find much on the info I need, hoping you guys can help me out.
1) People say you can damage your alternator and car's computer if you weld on your cars chassis/body. What do you recommend I do to prevent this? I've heard that I should disconnect the battery(this is obvious), disconnect all connections to alternator and unplug my computer, behind the pass kick panel. Is this all true and necessary or just internet myth?
2) I plan to weld all the seems of the lower torque boxes but it's a really tight space. An angle grinder will work on some areas but other areas I may have to use something smaller like my die grinder. I'm not sure if a sanding disc will be able to remove all of the paint/undercoating because the disc is flat and the torque box is raised about 1/8"-1/4". Will a wire wheel remove the paint or is there something else you can suggest that will help remove paint from uneven surfaces?
3) What is the best ground for the welder?
Thanks for any help :beer:
