Buy the best welder that you can afford. Really.
The metal is thin, 15 awg or roughly .070"
The plates that you add (like the front lower a-arm gussets) are thicker.
Some folks like the Lincoln 110 unit because it's fairly cheap. If you
have the extra dough, go for the slightly larger unit (it used to be the
MIG-125, but it's probably called a MIG-135 now.) Get the MIG conversion
too, you cannot weld TR6 frames with the flux core wire without a LOT of
grinding... def. go MIG if you can afford it.
