One Piece at a Time: My 1985 Diesel Suburban

I want a tig SO bad.
All I really care is the one you can hook up to a bottle and an arc welder. I don't play with aluminum, and never needed a high frequency version for mild and SS.

Almost sema ready, 90% sure I can get in before Friday.

Lots of good DC machine options out there. Everlast is a very high value for money. Get one with a cooler. An air cooled torch gets hot, quickly.

Almost sema ready

If it helps with your schedule, what if we (and all here are welcome) met up in Kingman, AZ Sunday evening 11/2? That’s where we’re laying up the night before it goes into the show.

There’s an In-N-Out.

Either way, looking forward to it. I’ll probably start driving back on Sunday. Dino’s looks like a good time…maybe there’s a chance I could swing it. Slim, but maybe.
