Hey Sam, swap a headlight for 1hr of MIG welding crash course?

karmannghia60, sure, i'd be happy to help with ur welding, and i dont want to step on toes here but i need headlights for a roadworthy in a few days, so my need for them is urgent.
What kind of mig? gas/gasless, steel wire or bronze silicon? i use most of these practically every day, and i am fairly practiced with TIG, MIG, OXY and aluminium welding.
give me a call on 0434621084 if you would like some help
