Thanks guys...I'm prolly gonna stick with a lincoln (have experience with them), but ill see if i can find a cheap hobart. Basically I took a bunch of art classes involving mig/flux, arc, and torch welding and really miss doing it. Plus theres a ton of other stuff i wanna make. I really want a tig welder but theyre way to expensive!! Brian, good to know the NSR frame is mild steel! I'm gonna add some swingarm spools/swingarm sliders, and some other stuff
