hey don33...you'll love the wire feed machine. I got a lincoln sp?180c about a year ago...it's amazing on thin (under 0.125) sheet metal stuff, about ready to sell the old 225 buzz box.
yep...plan on doing some drag racing with the Pinto when completed...re ally want to keep my feet.

Glad to hear you're ready to dig in. My '80 was sitting almost 2 years before I found the time to work on it.
