Mike,
I am no welder, GAS,TIG, or gas.
I sell wire to Miller Electric, I got lucky and got a Miller Cricket Mig and
tried it. I replaced the floor pans, sills, and redid most of the trunk area
with it. I don't weld and it came out fine.
I can't lay a good bead but I can spot weld up a damn storm !!!
That little unit was the best tool I had in the garage. I didn't use the
Argon but I bought solder core rod from Home Depot that was on the markdown
table for $50.00 for 10 lbs.
I played with it on an old hood from a Honda and that little welder was the
hit of the neighborhood ! I fixed lawnmowers, big BBQ grills, lawn furniture
and a couple of bikes.
You can get the same unit from one of the discount tool guys for around
$350.00 US. The Miller was around $500.00 but for that you got the name and
...........
I had a blast messing that little welder.. Just watch out what kind of socks
you wear ! Trust me on this....

Hey gang,
I'm trying to learn a little bit about welding for the purpose of
repairing Spitfire floor pans etc... I have been focusing on
MIG/TIG/ARC/Gasless and started to wonder. Can this type of work be
performed with a gas welding rig?
Mike
