JMO413 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 This was TIG or MIG? Looks like MIG and you need to turn it up to me. More voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertwinkiehobo Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I'll ask him, but I thought he said his unit was TIG. One thing, we're using cored wire, no shielding gas. And Cruiser, yeah, we definitely need practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 If it's cored wire them it's Mig. Definitely need to turn the voltage up and slow down your movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchamakalit Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I wamt to start by saying I am in no way a professional welder. My go to machine is a craftsman (Lincoln)110v mig. Looks to me like you need to increase the voltage and maybe even slow the wire speed. Doing so will help the weld "penetrate better, and not just puddle up on the surface. Get some pieces of various scrap steel and practice on a bench. Welding at odd angles and inder vehicles is not the best way to learn. Too many other factors make it difficult. Practice is key.

Pete M Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 sooooo, I'm not a huge fan of the Taco's hood angle. If the sun is in front of you, there are now 2 suns, one of which isn't blocked by the visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tail lights are different from a gremlin. Still in good shape too! Tempted to get them just to have. Nice little pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
