A friend of mine wants to restore an old car that has a lot of body rust and asked me about the best type of welder to use. I told him I didn't have a clue, but knew lots of people (who know what they are doing) that I could ask.
Keep in mind, he has never welded before (but is very determined and picks up things quickly) and will be doing mainly body (sheet metal) welding. Any suggestions on brands of welders and the best places to buy would be welcome as well. Thanks in advance for your help. -Don |

im running a hobart handler 140 with ultramix its perfect for everything automotive related 110v easy to use. have a buddy that purchased a hobart handler 180 220v used from craigslist for around $350 the advantage to the 180 is you can add a spool gun and weld aluminum, i use both frequently. in past years ive used miller and lincoln products in shops my personal preference is hobart welders.
