But when it comes to welding thicker stuff, will yours do as good of a job as his ???? Nobody is denying the ability of a 110v welder to do sheet metal, they just lack the balls to do heavy stuff which limits their versatility. But as is typical of this site, someone's going to say they've welded 1/2" plate with one !!


Absolutely! However how much 1/2" thick stuff is there on these old cars? Hint: not much. How much steel is thicker than 1/8" on these old cars? Hint: not much. The little 110v Lincoln can handle 95% of the jobs there is to do on these old cars. I said I would like to upgrade to a bigger machine, so I can tackle that last 5%.
