cool. i got one to.

now i will tell you this. if you havent welded before your welds are gonna look like absolute ----.

u wont be able to weld exhaust because u will blow holes.

get used to the settings and also i will give you a tip on those.

ALWAYS notch the 2 pieces your welding for better penetration

start the bead in the middle then join it up on both sides, dont go fast either.

with my electric now i can lay a bitching bead that looks tig'ed i did one on my oilpan yesterday, shiet.
