Remember to practice, practice and practice some more before trying to weld on your cars body. I jumped right in and now I have a few extra holes to fill.

I hear you..
I was pretty good back in the day with Arch Welding.. I really have no experience with MIG so I will take a while.. I am eager to get the parts that I need to start on the bracing.. For the vert.. in order to take the body off.. Any ideas where I can get 1 inc square stock to use for bracing? Alex

Hi Alex,
I've gotten decent 'scrap' steel from several local contractors/renovators, the last time I got 1.5" heavy wall tubing that had been handrails in a scool. Very cheap and ugly but perfect for practising and building bracing! The guy was even happier that I was able to remove it myself, and the price got better! Also you could try the local trader/swap type magazine, sometimes decent materials for good prices. Good luck, and have fun! Dave

You could try your local machine shop, they always have scraps lying around. Just bring some cash and maybe they will have what you want.
