Should of said this my self, That's what I did. probably looked funny though. Walked into the local welding suply store when I was 16 years old, told the guy I needed a welder on a budget, he asked what I was going to be doing with it, which at the time was welding in new floors on a 66 mustang. he showed me a model that would get the job done, a Hobart Handler 140. cost me something like 300 bucks. still have the welder and it still works great.
