A buddy of mine has a vehicle with a stainless steel body that he wrecked about 10 years ago and for some reason has been holding on to. He offered to trade it to me for a few of my firearms. The car is in decent shape other than the front end being mashed up a bit, and for some god aweful reason had the car painted bright yellow. The trunk pan ,which is in the front, will need work, the grill will need replaced and the front fenders may be ok enough to smooth out without bondo, cause when the damage occured they folded wierd, they didnt "crunch" like most accidents i have seen.
IF i go through with this this is going to be a long term project, because it's going to involve alot of custom fab work to do what I had in mind to do with it, but i Know the rules with welding stainless differ fron regular old steel stock, something about cyinide gas fumes and so on.
But the car runs and drives, sort of, dry rotten tires and spongey brakes make for an interesting ride in a 5 speed car.
Just looking for some insight.
OH! and can you weld regular steel to stainless and have it hold reliably?
