will, i dont know about ct but here in new york my local boces tech school offers an adult tech class one nite a week for a few hrs.. if i recall its only a couple hundred dollars, worth atleast taking a look into. and as far as mig goes its pretty straight forward and simple, i taught myself and im sure u wouldnt have any issues doing the same

im starting to lean towards havin somebody lend me a hand in learning/practicing a bit on my own...all the technical schools here that would offer it are not close at all really..

thanks for the insight

at new england tech you can pay for single classes

but its all the way over in new england

too far for you

honestly

if you can weld sheet metal, you can weld damn near anything.

for me it was just practice practice practice. the class taught me some basic shit, which is good to know.

the omly ktmracer customs lesson i signed up for was trying to weld 5/16 box tube to rotted unibody sheetmetal, single ply.

needless to say, it went poorly for me

I've heard a lot of people say that as their reasoning for taking street rod as opposed to Chassis fab. But we have had a number of guys come over from street rod and try to weld some 1/8th inch and just not get any penetration, which really isnt that thick. I'm sure with a little more time they would be able to but it was definitely a foot in mouth moment for them.

kudos to them though, Sheet metal is a bitch.

Yeah, I tried doing the same. Didn't work out well. The sheetmetal simply...evaporated.

More reason to learn though. I think I did a pretty decent job welding those pieces of chrome-moly thought.

pay for wire and gas, come over to my house?

I had no idea how to weld 6 months ago. Then a friend's brother, who has access to a full shop (where a guy is building a HUGE chopped XJ and a 10" ZJ for DD) put two u-bolts in front of me and just showed me a little. I was able to put them together with almost no problem. I still have them and can't get them apart.
