Morning!
Thinking about sending welder in for repair-um, nope. I can buy a multi-process for $400 or less off amazon.
And i just remembered i may have my first mig welder from 35 years ago. Do i want more frustration? I think not. Safety is one week away. I better find my bill of sale, see if i can qualify my own vehicle for classic plates too. It seems unethical to me but doesent hurt to ask.
