Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Advice needed regarding welder, no other content

[David Thursby (david]

Rick,

Knowing that you are a perfectionist when it comes to restoring your 
cars, you won't be happy with anything other then a TIG. The important 
thing with a TIG if you've not used one before is to buy yourself a 
lesson package at a community college or similar. One night a week for 6 
weeks will save you lots of grief and frustration. I'd recommend that 
for any type of welder you buy, unless you have used that type before. I 
took a MIG class years ago and it changed my welding from Captain Blobby 
to Mister silky-flow - well almost :)
