    buying a welder, and have a few questions about car's steel
    « on: October 03, 2005 - 04:02:17 PM »
    So I am buying a welder. What is the thickest gauge steel on an E-body that I could possibly need a welder for. Only reason is, I'd like to buy something I won't have to replace yadda yadda yadda. IF anyone has some adive or info for me I'd appreciate it.

    If it matters, I have a 71 barracuda. Thanks again.
