I dunno...I lived in NH for 34 years...and the 2 new vehicles I bought were purchased in december...first one lasted til april!
it was a 1985 F150 4x4 brand new, wasnt even unloaded from the delivery truck!
a driver in a hurry pulled out in front of me and I had nowhere to go...
2nd was a 1995 f150 4x4, it was 9 years old with 120k when a driver ran a red light...

I used the TIG at about 40 amps.......
laid down a bead just big enough to bond the pieces together, this kept the heat to a minimum and it id not warp.
But i be happy to teach ya how to weld...If i can do it any one can. I have to buy a sheet of .125 3030 aluminum to make my gas tank probably next weekend. That i will also TIG weld but that will be at about 180 amps on AC.
I also purchased a set of 63 aluminum trim that i will customize into a single piece for the side of the truck. Now i just have to find those super duty F1000 arrows....

I wanted to make it to the party but by the time I got home, it was over. Had a busy day at my moms with the new puppies. Mama is a nervous wreck and wants someone to sit by the box with her the WHOLE time. The puppies sure are cute though, they look like little rotties! My little boy weighs 186 grams, he is the biggest one of the litter and also the slowest one so far. He wasn't getting the hang of eating, didn't was to suck so I bottle fed him the first night. He is doing much better now and is at the vet getting his tail docked and dew claws off.
