Have to agree, its only one fender this week and would be way cheaper
and (no offense meant) probably better done to have it done by a pro but
what fun is that ? just tell yourself its only one fender TODAY who
knows what you will need to weld tomorrow ! and all the money needed
will be irrationally justified. That is how I got both my MIG and my TIG.
For me, I was MIG'ing my Alu body back together and burning holes more
than welding, so while it was only one body that I had to do today, I
got a TIG and finished the job, about the only time the MIG gets used
now is when I loan it to people for trailer work. MIG on Alu. is not
difficult but it is very different and I could not get the hang of it,
got the TIG and it was so easy that I went back and tried to MIG it
again and it was also easy. I did not have a spool gun so I am fully
aware of all the variation of "birds nests" that there can be, I would
highly recommend a spool gun if it is in the budget.
