Hopefully a typo, but what you need is a MIG welder, not TIG.

 

Hey - I am a physician and bought myself a MIG welder, found a local welder
and said - "teach me to weld!"  I still can't run a decent bead (so I don't
do any structural work, like frames, but good spot welds suffice for the
majority of repairs (including floors).

 

Two tips:

-          Buy a welder with a tank of argon:  in my experience the fluxed
wire just isn't as good

-          240 amps makes for a much better weld

Thanks everyone for the great words and advice.

 

I want a good job and get her on the road so i can drive it. but with all
these rusted out sections, i need to repair them first.

 

I am totally tempted to go out, buy a TIG welder (a bit expensive) and LEARN
to weld!

Seriously. I haven't seen any welding classes over the summer, but there
will be many in the Fall. But I can teach myself and find friends of friends

instruct me.

I would not do the floor pans but at least the flat sections needing repair.
One area is on the firewall 

near the commission plates . probably a 1"x5" section.

 

So most sections I need are flat sections. Except for the crazy corner
section directly under the fuse box, master cylinder area.

Which leads me to this: If I can locate a perfect salvaged inner fender and
wheel arch that I can extract this crazy multi-sided

section. I simply cut out the bad and have someone weld in the good
replacement. saves fabricating from scratch. or do it myself. 

 

Anyone have a good source to find donor panels: wheel arch/inner fender
sections?

Ideally here in Oregon, but willing to pay for shipping. Be even nicer if
someone has the small section I need and not have to ruin a good part that
is intact.

 

Thanks.

 

James
