I continue to be amazed at how many structurally incorrect welding jobs I have come across. My current project had been painted with a rebuilt engine, just need interior and looked to be ready to go. Mind you I ran a magnet down the car before purchasing it back in 2007, and the magnet stuck. I still decided to to sand blast to make sure everything looked sound. Glad I did. I found the quarter panel issue I mentioned above, along with pop rivets instead of welds along almost every body panel. The best was the freshly built engine with new 30 over pistons. I pulled it out only to see that they had used a compound to cover a crack in the side of the block. Good think I picked the convertible up for the price of the N.O.S. parts that came with it.
We had a phrase for this kind of stuff back in HS Auto Shop - Micky Mouse. There was also the old autos shop safety movies staring Primitive Pete.
