Just wanted to also say thank you for all the great information provided in this thread. It's nice to see so much help and advice from the more experienced members on here.
I'm wondering what some of the experts think of learning on thicker stuff and then working up to the thinner stuff as you get familiar with the process. I had an old flat fender Jeep before my Camaro which was just going to be a beater until I had so much fun learning how to weld it turned into a complete reconstuction. In the beginning I had a much easier time with the .120 wall stuff. Once I got to the sheet metal I kind of had some the motor skills down at least.
Maybe a topic for another thread but with the suggestion of moving to TIG, is there any type of machine you guys would suggest for the home user? I've looked at the new inverter TIG's, like the size, cost etc. of those. Would one of them do everything you need on a car project?
Thanks again, and keep the good info coming, please!
