    6AWG is decent size wire. The stock wires on our car are really small maybe 8ga or less.

    Got the new doors aligned quite well... Started to sand found a couple big issues.. Big crease with bondo... And a few rust holes.. Welded in 1 patch already and managed to get it to hot and warp a small section..that'll be fun..
    Now I just need to pick a good rust conver that I'm able to paint over.. If there is any.
    Picked up most the parts to build a cal trac style setup..
    Worked on a fender a bit more.. Just needs a coat of high build and blocked now..sanded the hell out of the '72 chevelle too so it's now like 90% done.. Gotta get that thing ready for paint so it's out of my hair.
