Are you TIG welding bare-handed? Apart from the obvious arc flash burn that you're going to get, you can hold the filler out a lot closer with gloves on and if you have difficulties with the big thick MIG welding gloves try deer skin cloves (usually sold for gardening) they don't have as much heat protection but give you a bunch of dexterity and also cover your hands

I always say the only difference between me and a guy who can weld, is I haven’t welded. So I got a mig and learned how to weld. BYW, you can probably stick weld on a good 115 circuit. Miller has a whole line of 115 volt stick welding machines. They work pretty awesome once you learn where you like the settings

Turns out it was just heavily dirty from where it had sat in town by someone's back fence and the trees on the other side of the fence in the alley... and anyways did you get your other Ford F-250 home yet Craig sir..?!

The 8k you got quoted, was that for metallic or something? Because 8k for flat color is extremely much. We've al seen you can paint, no questioning that, but (if you want it to be metallic) are you able to paint metallic? Thats another variable to think about when making the decision.

Cool and I had looked into the tig and arc welder it's the smaller one than you got, because I was also going to buy the $567 85341k I believe it was mig and arc gas shielded mig when I needed to replace the rockers and cab corners of the 86 Chevy k20 custom deluxe truck that I had for 12 1/2 years but I couldn't get anyone to help me and didn't have a way of safely removing the cab itself so since I needed a safer vehicle for my son to ride in who is autistic as well, I just traded it off for the early 94 Chevy Silverado extended cab short bed Z71 tbi truck, and now I have the 2000 dodge ram Laramie slt quad cab long bed 1500 4x4, but I kinda wish I would have kept my 86 Chevy and tried to fix it but oh well.. regardless those jegs welders seem like great products and probably better than the harbor freight Vulcan setups not the titanium one's though..?!! And I was thinking when you end up sitting down for suspension work and bodywork you might want to look at something like jegs creeper seat I believe it even has a small tool box built into it..Craig sir I usually work outside in the driveway which is gravel smaller stone but still and I have been thinking about buying me one since I always end up doing brake work..

Just paint it yourself. Buy a bit more paint for a third coat of clear and you'll have enough material to sand it flat. 4-8k for not that many hours of labour is too much on a stripped car with no real panel work needed. Just make sure you test your drop coats on a spare panel if painting a metallic, I learned that lesson after getting some lacklustre results when testing paint batches to decide on a colour. That light coat really helps the metal flakes sit up and shine.

Would you please wear safety glasses when you are grinding or wire brushing parts. and a full face shield when using a zip cut disc. Things can get really bad if one blows up on you. A welder friend had one blow up and he probably would have lost an eye if he didn't have his welding helmet down when he cut into a boiler tube.Stay safe.
