what would you say would be the minimal ampish for an arch welder to weld floor pans , and say other sheet metal ?

 

Your gonna tear up floorpans and any other thin metal with an arch. You need a mig with gas and not the flux core. .023 or 0.25 wire. I could be wrong though I'm new to welding.

 

For sheet metal work, a good 110v with gas would due just fine.

 

thanks , i went on did a bunch of searches here and there and found more help , i was just looking for a quicker awnser =) ordered the floor boards for both sides in a nice little 5 piece kit =)

thanks , seeing i just woke up its time to go and look for another welder !

 

Those guys are right... a cheap little MIG will work. Ide use .023 wire...NOT FLUX CORE. Make sure the welder is set up for gas (75% CO, 25% Ar)...it will weld a ton better.

Now...I have a question for you. Where did you get a 5 piece floor pan kit? Im sure Im not the only one that is curious about that.... Is it actually made for thirdgens? Formed to fit and all?

J.

 

I gotta know where to get this 5 piece pan set also and how much $$$?

 

its not for a 3rd gen , i just figured i would get a better responce out of this forum then some place else =) i come here for all my tech probs for all my chars heh

 

being a noob that has never welded and looking to undertake this same type of project; why do you say to not use gasless flux core wire? and , where the heck do ya find wire smaller than .030? I'm also looking to do both sides complete, would it be a good idea to cut the pans in 1/2 and put them in as quarters..to make them easier to work with? Seems like it'd be a pain trying to get a whole side to sit in place and reach through the door to weld it.
