The Smiley Tools TIG will more than be adequate.

Buy a mig with gas. Or send me the log manifold. I'll weld it up for you. Just pay shipping.

Actually Mike welds his own manifolds now with a Miller. Thanks for the after thought though Steve. :P

Although he has the miller, he hasn't used it yet, so I doubt he's welding up his manifolds already. He'll get there, but as of last week when I was there, he hasn't touched it. >:D

how much will it cost for you to weld up the manifold for me? i dont have enough money for one of those welders with the tank on it. so which would be better a wire fed or stick?

Wire feed would be better.

I'm not gonna charge you to weld it, I just don't have any little welding projects to tie me over.

i would take you up on this deal because your welder and your skills are probably 50 times better then mine. but i need a welder anyways to do charge piping and exhaust. i dont really know you either so you could jack me and i couldnt do anything about it except cry and bitch. thanks for the offer though. if you make me a a/c mani that fits a t3 i will pay you $150 pay pal in january cuz i have no money right now.

Ill vouch for him, only because i know where his mom lives ;)
Honestly man, for the amount your going to spend for the DIY kit and $150 to weld, you can buy a manifold from dave (CSAddict) or us fully tig welded in stainless. I think a guy named hotrex makes manifolds 2 ::)
