You have been added to my list of MV craftsmen... Great job and I loved the close ups of the welds...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I have a MllerMatic-250 mig welder in my shop. This is what I used to weld up all the brackets in this build. I run .035, ER70 wire, with 100% Carbon Dioxide for the inert gas. I've had the welder for over 10 years, ran hundreds of pounds of wire through it, and never once had a problem with it. I think if you stayed with a good name brand MIG welder (Miller, Lincoln, Hobart or Century) you'll get a good machine. And I wouldn't buy one that's rated under 185 amps. Spend a little more money on a bigger machine, if you can. You won't regret it. You will always find somethig heavy/thick to weld, and you will have the machine to do it.What sort of welder are you using for this? All I have right now is the oxyacetylene torch setup, so I am planning on buying a nice Micro Inert Gas or Tungsten Inert Gas welder sometime in the near future. Which would you recommend?
I am thinking they are the 46" tire, which will be fine since I could probably get away with a 6" lift then.
You sure you don't want to name a price for a similar kit like the one you just made?
