    I hear it works well with headers and piping, etc. Haven't tried it myself but if I get the time I will try my hand at it.

    i dont see where it has anything to do with a arc welder. its turning a car alt. into a tig welder. i guess you have to buy some tig leads.

    Yeah you use an alternator and a compressor motor and run the belt, etc. Cheap to build and supposed to work good.
