Hi, i am going to take some welding classes at school soon, and i plan on building a very traditional style model A hot rod. What is the best type of welder to use to box, or "Z" a frame? I plan on buying a welder so any brand/model reconmendations would be helpfull. I am in college now so cost is a big concern but i dont want to end up with a POS welder that i regret buying. also where is the first place to start as far as modifying a frame? are there any plans around that will tell me where and what cuts to make?

Thanks for all help,
Chris
In my opinion and it's only that............ Best first

TIG also called Heli-Arc but a little spendy
MIG (gas shield)
MIG (flux core wire)
Stick
