| Slowly pecking away at this thing, tig welding is super slow for me, but the only way to get better/faster is to do it.  Front axle mount brace  Got the front close to being on  | |

| Hitbox multivolt 250$ welder, I’m in love with it and it’s dirt cheap | |

| How does it do thin sheetmetal? Can you do real small welds with it? As in... 1/16-3/32in puddle?
I have a scratch start on my old Lincoln crank face welder.... but it cant do thin stuff, or small welds. Im hoping I can get a good setup for my big miller. I have a few upcoming projects that will need small, light Tig welding.

| Haven’t tried thin sheet but it goes down to 10 amps and I use that to weld my 1/16 welding rods together when they get to short to hold so I’d say it will do thin stuff no problem | |

| I never realized I could get a tig for cheap. Definitely a skill I’d like to learn! | |

| Looking really nice. Are you going to paint it? At least the frame? | |

| Thanks, Im gonna have to do something with the frame, most likely ill just get a can of the closest looking orange and put a few lights coats on it mainly where the welds show through. I love the old worn look of this thing, I would hate to ruin it with a snazzy paint job lol | |

| Tied the center into the front axle mount  Mocked up the front tire so I could check the stick out of the bumper, I was afraid it was out to far but I think it’s gonna be perfect  | |
