Panel distortion is minimal if you weld right. Panels should be tacked, not seam welded. Try to run a bead down thin sheet metal with a MIG and you will warp it. Somebody mentioned using 3M body panel adhesive instead of welding. That seems easier and definitely no heat problems. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Chris S.

Here are some of my opinions, in the context of vanagon usage. What about panel distortion? Do you have to worry about that when using a MIG welder? Chris.
