I would think so, Im pretty sure we used to practice on 1/8 and In order for our weld to pass they had to go through like a 5k lbs press. But the thing thats amazing about tig is how beautiful the welds are, but its time consuming

Yeah your goin to need them if you wanna flex. I got a line off a Dodge 4x4 truck for like 27 bucks. It was around 6 inches longer.

I just picked my beast back up from the body shop. They hadn't got to it yet. I will take it back another time. When they doing it for free you just got to be flexible. Getting ready for Sunday.
