I've been playing around with the firewall trying to get it straight and all the seams consistent. Here's a pic of where I started this afternoon.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread
The Lincoln is a sweet welder! Don't think you can go wrong there. I may have been a Lincoln owner as well but my local welding supply made me a deal on the Miller and a new bottle. I looked at a few Lincoln's and Millers before choosing the 211.

According to the Miller manual I can weld up to 3/8" with .035 wire GMAW. I'm assuming multiple passes but still using GMAW gas instead of FCAW flux core. I personally have only welded a few pieces of 3/16 to 1/4 using .030 wire GMAW single pass and it worked fine based on their settings chart. Even though the 211 is rated at 210 amps its 150@30% duty cycle. I've always stick welded bigger stuff until I recently bought the Miller.

Nice to know .... I was mistaken, I read the Miller 180 specs ... too small for me. Maybe the 211 is the way too go.

Those wheels look awesome
