I've been reading about welding all weekend since purchasing the Hobard. The tig sounds like the perfect welder for the highly visable areas. It's cool that the body is coming together so well. What do you think about the assembly time for this new body, and the total time to fix the old one? Just curious.
It must be nice to have all that clean new metal to weld to, versus the old body sheet metal. I was checking the roof weld above my back window on the inside of the truck. The old welds looked great, but as I ran my finger along the joint, they were so rusted they came off with a tiny amount of pressure. Thus the investment in the MIG welder. I'm not sure if I'll be able to weld it from the inside, where nobody will see my novice work, or if I'll have to weld the outside along the seam and do some grinding!
(this is becoming a Steve hijack . sorry. . but.. do you think using flux core will be ok, or should I by agas tank and use 75%argon/25%co2? for the truck)
