I need help! I cant afford to pay someone else to do all the little things that are cropping up on my Build-off thread car, and eventually need to do the longs in my other car, - also too cheap to pay someone else and then not be satisfied with the work, or the time it takes, it always seems to be that way.
So I need a lsit of supplies, what type of mig welder, etc etc. ,
where to look, or find a used one maybe...

any advice will be appreciated: brand and supplies, then how to practice, safety issue and advice- etc etc.

Thanks -
and the I can post my ugly buildoff pictures !!!
