I am getting ready to put my 1932 frame together and want some opinions on the subject. I have had guys that TIG weld tell me that it looks nice and all, but there is a very high heat transfer which can affect metal hardness. On the other hand MIG does a good job, but some say it isn't strong enough.
Now I know back in the 50's when guys were building rods they only used ARC welders. Is it really just a matter of preference?
