I actually went against my roots and bought a lincoln. I've only tigged with a lincoln once in my 10 years of welding everything else has been millers. After giving this one a try at the local welding shop and the deal they made me on it i gotta say i'm in love with how it runs!

Heres the first project with it, welded up a coolant overflow my buddy made up. He went square for more room where its mounted and wanted it to hold atleast a gallon. Its going in a 91 stang convertible with a 557 big block

Next project is a cold air intake setup(similar to a AFE system) for the 03-07 cummins diesels running 2nd gen exhaust manifolds, made mention of one i had in the works on a forum and got 37 pm's people wanting em since no one makes a setup for the swap

I love welding.. definitely a fine art to clean welds. Nice work, BTW. Clean solid beads. A good welding machine goes a LONG way.
