Case in point my 15 year old that's convinced he's buying a car this year and struggling to put a front tire on. I'm not expecting pit crew performance but this could have been an SNL skit.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Now I could be wrong, but I think you have a camber problem on that side

No work on the mustang this weekend. Rain has finally let up and I have a free weekend but I get to change the clutch in the wrangler instead. Woot.

I have decided I need these for the mustang though.

Where did you get those? Or did you make them?

That's what you were doing when you weren't working on your mustang....Ahhhhh.

Wranglers can be fun in a different way. I paint those darn things it seems like on a daily basis.

Not an intentional derail but this is how I started at Stangnet. It was not common practice to post images on forums. You had to manually enter thread tags... blah blah blah

Anyway... It began as a pet peeve. I wanted more pictures. Luckily, the boards have improved over time, making it a lot easier than it used to be.

Question for the masses. I grew up OA welding. For the most part this is a dead practice. Sheet metal has gotten much thinner on our cars. I've gotten what I need to redo the floors and I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't pick up a cheap mig? I'm almost clueless about these things so, if I was to get one what's a good budget unit? I'd like to keep it 110 if possible.

I use a 110 Miller gas mig at work, it welds exhaust pipe and other thin metals just fine. I have a Harbor Freight 110 flux core mig at home and it does what I need it to,just messy lol-i did learn recently that flux core wire corrodes from the inside out after welding. So body panels are out.
