I am needing the aide of someone who will weld some steel rod to my cut fenders on my YJ. i don't have the money to purchase a welder of my own but would like to go ahead and get this done so I can get some other aesthetic crap done. even though its a beater i still want to have some pride when driving the piece to the trails. well, if anyone is willing to do the work, preferable free, cheap, or a few beers in price, i would appreciate it. should only take a few minutes or maybe two seperate trips, bc i need it tacked then I am gonna hammer the metal around it then burn in the welds. anyone willing let me know. thanks.

you pay to have my argon/co2 tank refilled (~20-25 bucks) and i'll do it. assuming all i'll just be doing to welding and you doing the fitting.

You use Unamix? Or is that all everybody uses anymore?

8/23/2005 11:12:56 AM

dunno if that's what it's called. 75/25 blend is all i know. some people use other combinations. i've tried 100% argon, but like the blend better for the kind of stuff i do.

8/23/2005 11:15:04 AM

Yeah...that's what I'm talking about. Unamix is National Welders' trade name for it. 75% argon, 25% CO2.

my friend robert deaton just did a damn good job welding replacement a-arms mounts onto my grizzly 660

8/23/2005 12:08:26 PM

screw NW. they're a rip off, and complete dicks to you unless you've got a big account with them. i go to a place off of ebenezer church. cheap prices and excellent customer service even for people like me that only refill gasses every few months. i can get shielding, oxy, and acet for ~60-70 bucks. this is for large tanks too.

8/23/2005 12:11:47 PM

^^hell yeah, robert does a good job on stuff and a super nice guy to boot. what's he up to these days? been a couple months since i've talked to him.

8/23/2005 12:12:46 PM

northerns exchange is like 20 or 25 for unamix

8/23/2005 12:26:34 PM

he's just working at SAS and trying to get transferred down to ECU
he did a damn good job of welding on my ATV, I think he quit taking work for a while so he can build his jeep though

he and his brother are good kids

I went to HS with both of them

8/23/2005 12:32:32 PM

^^not always about paying the least for something

8/23/2005 1:22:20 PM

^^^yeah, that's about equal to the place i go (i can't even think of the exact name off hand, welder's supply maybe?). do you have to buy into northern's tanks or will they accept ones from national, etc.?
^^cool... yeah i know him from high school days too, i hung out with a few people from athens alot. i believe it was chris turner that i met him through back in the day...
