Well, we can only assume without photographic evidence. Same for 2mAn's truck.

Also, what's wrong with imported, old, and rusty? Those of us on r3v clearly love all of those things.

Just got some pics. Im going to steal a little money from the Alfa engine build piggy bank to get the Truck really going. Im excited.

blah blah stupid words

How the fuck did you edit my post?

Argon for mig? Shouldn't you use CO2?

You are probably right, but maybe not... Im not sure. Whatever is in the bottle will help with shielding though lol

It's actually a mix of both.

75/25 argon/co2

I used to know that, but then I forgot it.

So where's the pictures of this new project?

edit and quote are right next to each other, my bad.

I’ll start the thread soon. It’s an Fj40 with rust and a lot of unknowns

Well after 4 years living in Montana and never having a day off due to snow, I'm in Washington and work closed due to snow. But over the years I've built the skills to work from home so it's not actually a day off. Shot myself in the foot with this one.

+1 to this, C25 is basically the standard for mild steel. I run something like C10 because the internet said it was best for stainless, but it still seems to work fine on mild steel.

I think the biggest things other than that are:
Keep everything clean
Use a good ground point
Use a 20A supply if at all possible, and the chonkiest/shortest extension cord possible if you need to. (EDIT: Assuming this is a 110V MIG)
Small wire (.025" for everaythang)
Welding spoons/backer bar make a huge difference for butt welding bodywork. Basically anything copper or ceramic will work alright
