I dont want to spend 1500$ on something I wouldnt use much so I have never done it You'd need a tube notcher and a bunch of shit to do that cage work eh?

Jet Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I know welding rails is s cock sucker, I used to break the rails on my f10 and it was better to just replace then patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 No need for classes. Just get someone to show you the basics quick then practice. I had my boy laying beads at 6 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledderj Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I have a few welder buddies who are infinitely better than me, not to mention have the right equipment. One came over the other night and we patched up my busted bumper. He has a sweet little ESAB Mig he brought over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'd like to have a nice little mig unit, but it wouldn't be getting much use I'm afraid. I used to have a stick welder for repairs when I had a shop. For the kind of stuff I did, i could run a fairly decent bead. I wouldn't call it roll of dimes good but it did the job.
