Steve, I would recommend that you invest in TIG. It is the most versatile of the methods available. MIG is best suited for production where the process is worked out and repeated for volume operations. My personal favorite machine is the Lincoln Square Wave 175.

I am going to start building my engine mount and pedals so I started to look for a welder to purchase. Campbell hausefield, Chicago electric, Lincoln, schuemaucher and a few more are some of the brands I have found. Then we get into Arc or mig. I have arc welded before and was pretty good at it 20 years ago. I plan on building the pedal assembly myself but the engine mount I just want to tack weld into place and have someone who knows what the are doing finish it up. I also want to be able to build a aluminum intake runners and maybe do a stainless steel exhaust system with it. As always price is a big consideration, Chicago electric is the cheapest and probably the lowest quality while Lincoln is very expensive, is it worth it? This will probably be the only time I will need it is to build my KR or for small repairs, nothing over a 1/8th inch thick(I am not into overkill). Any advise from others out there would be great. P.S. If Mr. Ameet is out there, please drop me a line and let me know what you are up to.
