Hello all,
I have two questions for you guys (I came here after seeing Reenmachine's page.)
I am starting a 1968 Mustang Coupe project inbetween deployments (I'm stationed at Fort Lewis, WA) and am need of two things, where to find a media blaster around Fort Lewis/Tacoma Washington and what kind of welder do I need to purchase.
Concerning the welder, I was looking at the two voltages, 110 and 220. What do you recommend for a hobbyist, should I go ahead and invest in a 220 unit able to weld thicker diamaters.
Here at a few models I was looking at:
HTP 160DV
Miller 180 w/Autoset
I've looked at both of these but was wondering would just some cheap one from wherever suffice for the job.
I learned how to do some basic MIG welding while in Iraq (welding steel plates to the bottom of the seats in a vehicle for IED protection) but we used whatever the motor pool provided for us.
If anybody could give me any suggestions or advice it would help greatly. I am a big fan of stangnet and www.reenmachine.com.
