Re: welder for quarter panels
you need a mig welder with argon...looking around 5-600 for a cheap decent one...
i own a body shop and could probably put them on for you for that price...

dont be a tard and buy a harbour frieght or a northern welder.... they suck.
go to lowes and buy the lincoln sp 135 or pro mig 135. they have them on sale now for like 295.00 you cant beat it.
but for the record by the time you get your old quarter off and get halfway into the install youll be saying damn.... i spent 300-400 bux on a welder a bunch of money on materials. maybe i should have just had someone do it.

Replacement panels aren't the best thing to practice on for your first project. Have a shop do what you need, so you know it will come out right. You can find some smaller projects to learn on, then do it yourself next time.
