Im lookin to borrow a MIG welder if anyone is near Dallas. Im gettin an exhaust system and I dont want to pay a shop something like 300 for just an install. and I can weld, and I have a plug here at my house as well as all the equipment needed.

unless you got a shop or konw a shop that will install a muffler and some extra pipe for really cheap...

thanks for any help

 

I don't have one, but call the guy I use. He is in Garland, just east of Dallas. (Not sure how close you are or if you are willing to drive, but ask for Gary 972-272-5470 or 972-272-2820. Last time that did something like that he charged me $30-$40 bucks. Worth a call anyway.

 

did he weld it ur exhaust for you or let you borrow the machine? and nah thats not too far.

 

Yea I figured that it would be a little further than you wanted, and no he did it for me.

 

how are you doing the exhaust? also try calling a welding place and ask if they will rent migs.

 

the way im doing it is.......at my house im going to cut the rear cats off, and the muffler. then take my new muffler to a shop and have them weld on 2 straights where the cats were and the ner muffler with an extension, all on the existing pipe. if it costs too much...then ill look more into renting or call that one guy and see what he can do.

 

I wish i had a welder to play with

 

I have an arch welder here at my house..but it doesnt make very pretty welds, and theres possibilies of burning right thru the metal. and i dont wanna risk it. and the MIGs are expensive..well the one I told my dad he should get, http://www.mylincolnelectric.com/Cat...t.aspx?p=18685

aint gonna be cheap, but I always had bad luck with the little ones and the big, actual man MIG welder always amazed me.

 

I have a mig welder and a shop. You can come over here. All I'll charge you is, you bring the beer.

 

we got charged $120 w/ the muffler to put on in place of stock muffler on our 06 and 08 f150's.

and just to **** you off a bit, im cutting cats out in about 30 minutes and welding straight pipe in on my buddies truck

 

you.......yall know if cuttin the rear cats off and weldin in straight pipes (ill most likely have to to the gotts o2 mod) is illegal in Texas????

 

technically yes it is. but most inspectors dont take the time to look underneath a vehicle to see if they are there unless its rediculously loud and some wont even care. if you dont throw a code on your computer, thats the biggest issue because it is part of the emission test (obd portion) so a inspector can't get around it, but if you have no cat (but no code) that is part of the safety part and its up to them if you pass or fail, but technically your supposed to fail

and if you do throw a code, there is kinda a way around the emissions part, heavy duty vehicles (some where around 8600 lbs i cant remember) the obd really doesn't matter at all. i have heard of people putting the heavy duty stickers over there stock ones to show the gvwr for a heavy duty truck of the same model, but still you have the safety portion to worry about.

 

I'm looking to shorten the bracket holding my fuel pump assembly/sending unit in the "under construction" fuel tank. Installing a 2000 Lightning drive train in a '56 F-100 and going with the OE fuel pump. Does anyone sell a shorter bracket or is cutting/welding the bracket my only option?

 

yea check out the dollar general, they usually have a couple in stock, if they dont check out your local circuit city
