I'm getting my project car in about two weeks and will need to weld on the rear fenders before I can begin any body work. Anyone have any good suggestions on welding on rear fenders. Any tips on what type of welder to use. I use to use a mig welder. Unfortunetly I do not have a welder and will have to rent one.

All ya need is a buzz box and a scratch start tig welding kit including an argon tank and your in. If you are not an avid welder, then try to do it with a flux core mig from Lowes for about 350$. What I learned through out my tinkering days is that if you pay someone to do it, it will be as expensive as purchasing the equipment yourself. All ya have to do is practice for a while and/or get someone to teach you how to do it. The most important part is doing it right the first time to avoid costly fixes later. Any welding store will help you on your way if you purchase something from them; pick their brains. The 914 tin is very thin and it will be tricky to do so practice first and ask me anything ya want. I'll try to be helpfull.
