Roo Man's Room / TIG welder
« on: May 12, 2013, 12:03:52 PM »
I have a little experience with stick and wire-feed welding. I have not and do not weld often enough to call myself proficient. Lately, in the course of some modifications and upgrades to my FED, I have need to get tabs and such welded on, and have had to  load the chassis onto the trailer and take it to someone to have those things done for me. I'm also considering building a new chassis. Looking at welding machines, and learning to TIG weld. Any suggestion as to the right machine to get? $500 Harbor Freight or $1800 Lincoln? I would rather any limitations be on the part of the weldor rather than the welder. Any equipment advice or recommendations are welcomed and appreciated.

Does anyone know where I might find block bolt patterns, front and rear, for small block Chevy, for purposes of building engine plates? Any help appreciated.

Can mild steel plates, brackets, tabs, etc. be properly and effectively welded to chromemoly tubing of my FED chassis? I am needing to relocate the gas pedal mounting on my car and need a plate welded between two crossmembers to do this, I have ms plate laying around but do I need to get 4130?
