Nice demo. Imo experience plays a big part in this decision. A novice or hobbyist will have a much easier time building a frame with a mig. However someone who knows nothing about cars but say has worked pipefitter could make a frame look like a work of art with some rods and a buzz box ⚡
Love the video. This is what i have been needing. I have a 64 4 door project that i want to learn to weld for. I have a cheap machine that can stick, flux core, and mig if i bought the gas and tank. I just didnt know which to learn. Do you have any opinion on flux core?
Hey! Glad the video helped. Flux core is great when used properly. Only problem is you’ll have to “chip” or grind the flux off of the weld. It’s Smokey, dirty, and has a lot a “spatter”. I would not recommend to use flux core on a frame reinforcement for the reasons mentioned above. Hope that helps with your decision making. Best of luck! 👊🏻
I appreciate your demonstration. That is a great example of the difference between the two welder types.
You’re welcome sir
Sorry for your loss, they are family. Glad you’re back at it. I’ve not done anything for most of the summer in the impala. Gotta get back on it!
Thank you very much 👊🏻

Great point! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
Thank you, excellent information.

You can stick weld just about any metal depending how hot you weld and how thick your metal is
