I have a welder but nothing portable. You should check out Princess Auto, they have some good welders for less and you could do that stuff yourself. I have one and it welds up to 1/4" metal and just plugs into 110 volt. Mig welders are real easy to weld with and it doesn't take much practice to be good with them.

Welding is easy, but good welding does take a little practice!

I bought a cheapy welder that was made in italy from an auction sale a few years ago, it does the trick till I can get a nicer better quality mig.

Well if you really don't mind then yeah for sure I'd like your help with the small stuff.
If we could do the sub frame connectors in the 89 and the 65 that would be awesome
Name your price, and well pick a weekend or what ever that works for you in the next month

Thanks IAN

Nice, Im actually gonna be getting a bigger welder when I get my shop built. The mig I have now is nice and handy, but it is smaller. I think the highest setting is 50 amps.

I haven't run the lines for 220 yet, but yeah it would be easy enough to haul the car around, and your in the NW end too aren't you?

Sure if we can work something out, between you and Ian I should be able to get the cars good to go this summer
Thanks for the offer!!!

If you want to use my tow bar I have those brackets that I made that attach to the bumper shocks so I can tow my Mustang in an emergency.
