Jimmyjeep, I have to agree with Dave, There was a time before 7018 and when you only had 5p or 6010 rod, and the welds look as good as 7018.

With that said, I agree with Dave that a good 220 Volt mig welder with the bottle is the way to go. Like anything else, keep spending time in the booth and it will come.

Last year on vacation I went up to Seattle Washington to visit some friends. I also visit Art Morrison shop. Real nice people gave my son and me a tour and some T-Shirts and other cool stuff. D

Did you guys know that all the chassis's and clips are mig welded, and look like rolls of dimes. Yea those guys do it every day but man all mig no tig, wow!
