Re: 1953 gmc s10 frame 6.0swap

Awhile back a buddy and I were talking about different projects and builds. I mentioned I would like a plasma cutter. He has all that stuff. He said save the money on the plasma cutter and spend it on a good tig welder, a few small disc grinders and some good zip discs and or a diamond blade like the Lennox metalmax. A decent metal chop saw is also good to have. he said, think about how many times you cut something compared to welding something. Plus the weld is more important than the cutting process usuaĺly, and the cut usually needs to be ground and trimmed to fit etc anyway. I would love to have a tig now. The list just gets longer, lol.
