I had to notch the trans crossmember,& built a new rear member,also notched(ex pipe clearance). Installed a set of hooker comps,& ran 2 1/2" pipe,all tucked up nice to keep from road rash! All that is left is to install the H pipe,then time to start on electic fans.....looks like tommoro is junk yardin time......69 longhorn.

Im runnin an sp100 lincoln mig on the ex pipe,use it for tin work also. When I get into the heavy stuff,i have to fire up the "rod burner". The little mig just doesnt run hot enough for any chassis related work. I have run a 170 lincoln that a bud has,& it will crank up.....1/4 ,1 pass,just singin! Well, of to the shower....got to get rid of the grindum dust......69 longhorn.

*Fast68Chevy* · 03-26-2002, 08:45 PM

is that 100 a migpak ? gas converted ? trying to debate if cost of one is worth what little it can weld, sheet and light tin...
wish i could happen onto a farm auction and pick up something, hmm,,

The SP 100 was gas ready when I got it,I think the weld packs need to be converted. Its great for tin ,exhaust tubing,& small brackets. I have welded 1/8" with it(go cart for the boys),but the best feature is that you can really dial it down for light stuff. I would like to have a 170 or 200 amp for welding chassis pcs,but for now the old buzz box gets the job done. ....69 longhorn.
