Any recommendations on a favorite MIG welder for auto body sheet
metal?

RogerN

You have conflicting objectives, wanting a MIG that can do heavier
welding, including aluminum, but still a best choice for autobody.

An excellent welder for autobody is the Lincoln SP125 plus, may be
SP135plus now, with continuously variable heat setting. If you
visit a restoration or custom body shop, that's what you'll see at
the workstations.

Ayup..basiclly an updated and improved Weldpak.

Got the Weldpak 100 with gas . Works sweet on up to 3/16" stick , for
bigger there's a Tombstone under the bench .
For body panel type stuff I tack-n-skip then go back and do it
again , then again . Helps keep flat panels flat - especially if I
hammer-n-dolly the welds between passes .


You are a very smart fellow!!


Not me , I just remember what I read . 6,000 WPM , 95+% comprehension when
I was in college , thank you Evelyn !
More like 600 WPM now , and mostly I read for pleasure or tech stuff if it
catches my famcy . There is a wealth of knowledge out there in cyberspace
just waiting to be learned if you know the right questions . I've learned
bunches here and at sejw.
