Never learned to arc weld, not even with a mig. I can gas weld like a champ, though. I'm afraid I'm too old to learn how to weld. Old dogs and new tricks, and all that...

I have been toying with a spare set of front fenders for over a year now trying to do this. Guess I need to quit denting and replacing fenders and work on them.

I planned on using 3/4 EMT and the hand bender I have for it.
