Greetings all,
Grew up stick welding and brazing (I know). About to start the passenger side long. I have a portable TIG and stick but I'm thinking of investing in a Lincoln MIG. Seems like a good investment and will produce a better repair in the long run. Been waiting for this car for 45 years. Want to do it right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Would love your thoughts. |

Definitely MIG. TIG is a superior process, but not as good on marginal metal.
Practice on the same gauge metal (cut pieces off a car are best), and practice more. Once you get competent the only problem you'll have is going to fast and warping stuff. |
