that site you referred me to has alot of great stuff i will be buying now for my project, thanks for that.


so i heard though that a plasma cutter can be used to put in patches and new peices of metal, and was told its 10 times easier than using a mig welder. true or false

I've never heard of a plasma cutter being used for anything other than cutting.

Having used a plasma cutter I can't even imagine how you do that.  I'm not going to say it's impossible but I can't wrap my head around the idea.

I did a quick search and found nothing. I think they are only used for cutting.

hmm idk, maybe im just dreaming. i dont know.

either way, i think im going to hold off on the body patches for now cause all the panels will have to be replaced any ways. there in a place where its just to hard to fix. i did find a trunk lid though finally ill be picking up for like 30 dollars. and will be picking up my redone heads for the car tomorrow=D just going to cost a good 400 dollars=(

Some power supplies can run a plasma cutter and TIG also. You'll not find a good one for $50, either.

I think a plasma cutter is the last tool that you need. Get a mig welder and run it with 75/25 gas.  You can use spotweld cutters and  cut off wheel to remove things. Plasma cutters are nice to have but, not completely necessary.
