hello from TX (just north of Dallas)

[Skalywags]

Hi, I live in a place called Savannah, just north of Dallas, and east of Denton.
I just bought a Hobart 140, today. I had a Miller at one time, about 15 or so years ago, and used it to weld floor pans in a 67 Mustang, Make Frame rail connectors and many other things.

I figure it'll take me a little bit to get used to doing this again, but once I get going the first thing I'll be doing with it, is putting front quarterpanles on a '66 VW bug, and a front apron. Should be fun! I'll also be filling in the trim holes and fixing some small rust holes.

I'll be looking on here for tips, and other ideas once I get this project far enoug along.

Welcome to the Forum. I'm sure that you will find things that help with your welding.

Well, you picked exactly the right machine for those jobs. I've welded on a couple VW's of that vintage, and found the steel suprisingly easy to blow-through. I highly recommend backing strips wherever possible to give you as bit more meat to weld.

Never too many Texans! Bienvenidos, amigo.

Welcome.

The Handler 140 is the same machine I used on my Baja and my 63 bug. Even welded in a cage with it. Sounds like you'll have a fun project on your hands.
