Perhaps I may bend up a few cages.

Enjuku Racing - Performance Parts and High Quality Fabrication

the plus about these is that enjuku is local...


and those headers are sexypants.
I'm assuming you are referring to the $600-ish ones?
I quoted someone $400 to bend and fit him a cage. He provided materials.
(He wanted to pay $80.....)

I could probably make a kit for $500-$600... Only downside is the shipping.

Since you're asking this type of question I'm assuming you have little to no knowledge or experience...

based solely on that.. TIG is NOT for you especially since you're working with sheet metal.

MIG will eaily do you body work and your exhaust. Once you learn to MIG weld and become efficient at it.... Then I would suggest taking a TIG welding class. See if you like it. THEN buy a TIG...

And AC TIG will NOT be a better all purpose machine in the hands of someone who is completely new to welding... They would end up spending more time and money buying consumables for all the mistakes they will make then they would actually spend welding.

An AC/DC TIG would be the ideal machine for someone with experience and knows what to expect.

Again, MIG is perfect for newbies...
