Aint that the truth!!



What kind of welders do you guys have?? Would one of those 200-300 dollar welders on northern tool be ok for small things such as this engine bay project or perhaps exhaust work?

any mig welder will work for bays! you dont need one that will weld 1/2" plate! Usually if you box everything in or just weld up holes i only use 12-16ga sheet metal.If you plan on doing SFC or welding TQ boxes you will wanna (or atleast i would) fork out $600-800 for a good lincolin or miller.If you do get a good one usuall any good welder that will weld 1/2" plate MAX is good for automotive,the biggest ket to doing SFC or TQ boxes is that you have gas with the welder and not use core wire.Oh yeah if you get a good welder make sure you can adjust the heat and wire settings not just the ones that the settings are a click but are a smooth turning knob,those are the best to fine tune the heat and wire. peace
