How to Use a Spot Weld Tool on a Car

Hi I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hotrods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now Alex has the spot weld tool. He's poking holes in the bracket so that we can reproduce the look of a spot weld. A spot weld is accomplished with pinchers that have electricity going through them and they just assume a bunch of electricity through two pieces to weld them together. It's not possible to do that on the scale we're working here. So he pokes holes in the thing and then we can weld up the holes and attach the bracket to the trunk floor and it looks like a spot weld. It's good; it's a good looking finish when you're done.
