I am embarking on a big project, big because it is my first time fabricating, and because it is at my friends house and I need to get done in a reasonable timeframe.
I will be doing a full airride install on my 2002 Lightning, and fabbing a 3-link with a watts in the rear.
I have a bunch of 3/16" and 1/4" plate steel for brackets and tabs, and .250 wall dom for the links and c-nothces.
Welding is covered with my recent purchase of a Miller 180 with spoolmate, but cutting is a different story.
What I have so far is as follows.
A coule of harbor freight 4 1/2" angle griders with a couple dozen cut off wheels, grinding wheels, and flap discs. Also a electric die grinder that seems pretty robust.
A HF laser guided jigsaw and a bunch of various metal cutting blades for it.
A sawzall, and a new craftsman belt/disc combo sander, as well as a fairly small craftsman drill press.
Will I be ok with what I have or do I need to break down and spend my hydroboost money on a H/V convertible bandsaw?
Thanks guys,
Ian Schwartz
