First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I plan on building brush guards and roll bars along with the sheet metal work I will be doing, do you think this size of MIG will handle the work? My bird is still in the body shop and while it is there I am building my 4X4...I figure I can't screw it up any more than the next rock or tree that I am sure to run into.

For sheet metal work, definitely a MIG. I have the Lincoln 140 series and love it. nhra68 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Meyer, David Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 12:57 PM To: First Generation Firebird-L Subject: RE: [FGF] TIG or MIG First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ........................................................................ . Makes sense Stu, Thanks David Meyer ........................................................................ . Definitely start with a MIG. I used a MIG for years and recently bought a TIG. I find the TIG doesn't get used as much as I thought it would. It's nice for aluminum, or making a pretty weld, like a set of headers, but the time it takes to TIG is about twice that of a MIG. Also consider the the initial cost. You can get set up to MIG weld for less than $1000. A decent TIG will cost twice that.

I am getting ready to go and buy a welder. What do you guys suggest, TIG or a MIG with gas. I am going to be doing a ton cut and paste body work (not on my firebird) I have plenty of experience with a MIG and a little with TIG. I am fairly good with both but I am just wondering which one would be better for the application.
