Welcome Cody....sounds like you have quite a project there! Tell us more about it.

 

welcome to the site. wow...that sounds like quite a project. do you have any pictures?

Welcome to the forums, that sounds like a fun project, just be prepared for setbacks. Good luck!

 

Dont be to surprised when you find new things out when your working on her

 

Buy yourself a new mig welder and learn how to use it if you don't already know. Take it slow and easy. One project at a time. You can get overwhelmed if you try to tackle too much as once. Remember, it is a project, not a daily driver.

 

Take a look on Ebay for migs. I just picked up a Linconln Weldpak 175hdfor $405 (Home Depot sells this same model for $599). The 175 series has been replaced by the 180 series, so there are lots of deals on the 175s out there. It is a 208/230 welder (good) and can easily be set up to run off your dryer outlet if need be. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

 

thanks for the tip on the welder, still trying to get some pics

 

I got my Mig welder from Craigslist. A great buy...
