Sorry to pursue the point, but for someone who has never welded before, =
I would still say MIG is the way to go.  I am not arguing about the =
merits of the two, but was responding to a novice (like me) who was =
thinking about welding patches on a car.  And by =E2=80=9Ca tank of =
argon=E2=80=9D I was referring to the mixed gases =E2=80=93 but again =

welder.

Actually a TIG welder is the best, but a MIG will work fine.  For mild =
steel you will want mixed gas (75% CO2 / 25% Argon).  I have a 110V MIG. =
 On a 20A circuit it works just fine.....even on thicker welds.  If I =
was going to weld 1/4" plate a 240V mig would be better.

Hopefully a typo, but what you need is a MIG welder, not TIG.

Hey =E2=80=93 I am a physician and bought myself a MIG welder, found a =

=20

Two tips:

-          Buy a welder with a tank of argon:  in my experience the =
fluxed wire just isn=E2=80=99t as good

-          240 amps makes for a much better weld=20

Thanks everyone for the great words and advice.

=20

I want a good job and get her on the road so i can drive it. but with =
all these rusted out sections, i need to repair them first.

=20

I am totally tempted to go out, buy a TIG welder (a bit expensive) and =
LEARN to weld!

Seriously. I haven't seen any welding classes over the summer, but there =
will be many in the Fall. But I can teach myself and find friends of =
friends

instruct me.

I would not do the floor pans but at least the flat sections needing =
repair. One area is on the firewall=20

near the commission plates . probably a 1"x5" section.

=20

So most sections I need are flat sections. Except for the crazy corner =
section directly under the fuse box, master cylinder area.

Which leads me to this: If I can locate a perfect salvaged inner fender =
and wheel arch that I can extract this crazy multi-sided

section. I simply cut out the bad and have someone weld in the good =
replacement. saves fabricating from scratch. or do it myself.=20

=20

Anyone have a good source to find donor panels: wheel arch/inner fender =
sections?

Ideally here in Oregon, but willing to pay for shipping. Be even nicer =
if someone has the small section I need and not have to ruin a good part =
that is intact.

Thanks.
