Type of Welding help Options

[914outlaw]

Hey guys,

I was thinking about taking a welding course at a local Votech school, but I wasn't sure if the type of welding they offer will help me on the 914. I am looking to weld some patch panels and and fix up the area beneath the hell hole. The course covers the following:

This course emphasizes:
1. Oxyacetylene welding and cutting
2. Electric arc welding
3. Heat selection on machines
4. Rod sizes and numbering
5. Safe and proper use of AC and
DC units
6. Tig and Mig welding demonstrations

I appreciate any advice as to whether or not this would help me. Or should I just buy a How to DVD on MIG welding. I just don't want to spend money on something that won't down the line.

Thanks,
Dave

I'm no expert welder but beside #6 I don't think they will help you too much working on a 914. If you buy a MIG, do NOT buy a welder with FLUX core only!

PS: I'm in Princeton, let me know if you need some help.

Thanks Dragan,
Yeah, that is what I thought. This is a Basic welding course offered at Ocean County Tech in Toms River. Their Advanced course covers Mig welding but you have to take the basic first.

I'm glad to see a fellow teener nearby. I will definitely keep you posted on my progress. I am hoping to make it roadworthy by the spring.

Thanks
