If you have decided to purchase a welder (you should) then get a good one. I have always said that anyone can weld with a mig welder with very little practice.
I have built several cars with my Miller 130. Great machine! Once you have a welder you will be amazed how often you will use it.
The other accessory I will highly recommend is a good auto darkening helmet.Scott

Ditto what ScooterCo said! I have a Hobart 140 mig welder from Norther Supply, that has served me well. That and advice from people here and a few youtube videos on using a welder. Don recogmended it for me since I was new to welding and just using it for the truck(not a living). I was able to pick it up on sale for about 425$ This one comes with a free cart. They are also made by Miller I believe.

I'm looking at the Hobart 140 (list $660)
http://www.hobartwelders.com/produc...eed/handler140/
or the Millermatic 140 with EZ-set (list $862)
http://www.millerwelds.com/products...hp?model=M00234
Can buy either for less than list, but the Millermatic is definitly a couple of hundred more.
I have read these are pretty comparable and may even be same product, except for the auto-set.
Is the Auto-set on the Miller-matic worth $200 for a beginner welder?
Thanks

Can't answer that specific question, but can say I have had no problems with the Hobart, and am impressed with it's quality, and ease of use." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Sorry for the Hijack, Hotrod46!! My real reason for the post was to see if you'd checked Crutchfield, not to divert your build thread. My bad....
