Episode 2 of BodyShop Business‘ Crunch Time with Jason Stahl video series is now available for viewing! This episode features Editor Jason Stahl taking an I-CAR MIG welding test at Fred Martin Collision Center in Barberton, Ohio, under the instruction of shop manager and I-CAR instructor Dave Cottrell.

“This was a super fun experience!” said Stahl. “I learned a whole lot about MIG welding, the difference between a good weld and a bad weld, the different kinds of welds you can do, and how I-CAR tests work. I was also able to see whether or not the welds held up to destructive testing, which was really cool too. Many thanks goes out to Stacey Wesselink of I-CAR, Fred Martin Collision Center Manager Tammy Horvat and Shop Manager Dave Cottrell for setting me up with this great opportunity.”
