good to see ya back tig. I finally scored a new era truck. I guess i should have jumped on that deal before you. I ended up paying quite a bit more!!!

I have a truck in the planning stages I cant wait to work on. it will be far different then anything built.

Yea, I primarily got it for that project. This truck is strictly for personal use. Its been on my mind for a couple years.

The tig I got is pretty cool and from what i understand, its perfect for beginners. I still cant weld well with it, but I can tell it will be no time before I can. it has awesome control. Its a diversion model. The whole setup with gas, pedal, consumables was about 2k.

thats a cool model. They told me though the diversion has basically the same workings, its just preset for 75% of the work done with tig welders. There is a new model comming out of the diversion with digital display and some more adjustment. it works on 120 and 240. its about $400 more then my model. Due out in march.

Thanks guys, it's been a while. Lookin forward to getting things moving.

Mike the site is looking good man, great job. I saw your truck, looks awesome. I wish mine looked that good. After I'm done, it'll look killer. So, what are your plans? I'm very interested :mrgreen:

These are my machines. They work great for what I do, plus I can do some thicker materials if need be.
