Well shoot, I did good then.
I bought a Lincoln Weld Pak 100 (110V flux core) welder off a friend for $50 and the MIG upgrade from Lincoln for 145. So I got a good 110V for around 195. I still need to buy a bottle for it though so I can lay some nice beads. I get a lot of perocity(sp?) since I'm not running gas to it right now. (I'm not making anything, I was just playing with it to make sure I setup the mig portion correctly.)

 

If you want the nicest welds, run flux core wire with an argon mix gas. Thats how I run, virtually no splatter and beautiful solid welds. If you dont weld much buy your wire in 3 lb spools, even the most skilled welder cant make dirty corroded wire weld nicely.

 

Trev, if that's the jeep your driving through PA with that blade on the front, let me know when your coming through, and I'll keep the kids inside! LOL

It does look good though!

 

my comanche refers to that as her "tomahawk". Go ahead an pull your civic out in front of me! It'll be a convertible!

 

This is the only kind of welding I have done for the past 3 years or so. Havent ever do e mug or anything else so as long as I use different rods with smaw and I do it right I'll be good

 

I also use it to plow trees, rocks, logs, broken H2's and whatever else is in my way on the trail! Lol

 

Use like a 7018 or even 7024. They will run the smoothest and not blow holes in your steel

 

Cool thank you for all your help I'll post on here in a few weeks after I have everything gathered and put together I'm also going to do some tube doors while I'm at it.
