[99 to Life]

I agree that some things you can get away with buying from HF and I wouldn't put EW on their level. From my one time experience its the valves they are using that are going bad. I only bought this because I was in a super pinch, every welder I was finding on CL was getting scooped up and this was a great deal and I could put it on my CC. Its a really good welder, I just need it to last atleast the 3yrs they warranty it for. I wanted a hobart and shoulda just spent a little extra and got one. I'm not afraid to try new things, but I'm getting a little irritated and burnt on this deal. I have far more than one build that I need tools for, so yeah I'll be stepping up as best I can. Takes a long time to shuffle build funds with tool funds with a very limited budget. But I'v only been hunting and gathering for about 4years so in that time I'v come a very long way I feel, gotta keep trying to stay positive.

I got my ARP headbolts so hopefully I can get the engine buttoned up soon, just need a few more things for it. Trying to get my gas tank and radiator so I can finalize my brackets bf I take body off. Gonna be doing the bed frame soon too and shock mounts for the front, then I can grind away at the frame.
