Stick welding off lincoln electric site:

Some limits of stick welding are:

Welding thin materials (less than 18-gauge steel) may be difficult or impossible.
Marginal for welding aluminum. It takes a high degree of operator skill to weld aluminum with the stick process.
You must clean the slag off the weld.
Stick is a slower process than MIG.

im in canada its like 35 bucks.

Shinning was probly achieved with hand sanding with all 10 grits working way to like 400 wet sand then buff on buffing wheel. about 2 hours of owrk and youll be there...

Re:looking for an fmic

I'm using the Audi 5000 IC as a front mount. My end tanks cost me $90. I had the end tanks made for me by the machine shop. They're the same cats that made my adapter plate ($20).
