: I am preparing to purchase a MIG welder very soon to start repairing various body parts on the ole A. So far I am leaning toward a 220V version using argon gas. I am new to welding but am confident I can pick it up with practice in a short time.

: Any recommendations on brands and features would be appreciated.

: Also any welding tips from the body and fender guys, especially for sheetmetal, will come in handy too.

dan----some years ago a friend of ours got a wire feed welder
for some sheet metal production work he contracted---after
looking at different models, he bought one of the "hobart"
make---he said the hobart was easier to set up with the fine
adjustments for thin steel work---i got to try using it---
it was amazing---set up in the "stitch-welding" or "pulsed"
mode, i found i could run surprisingly long beads on thin
metal with almost no warpage at all---setting up the power
level, pulse rate, etc. required some experimentation on
scrap pieces, but once set up, the machine was really easy
to operate

hope this helps
