Default Welder for JDM Conversion

I saw many places, that tells you how to put the JDM conversion together. I went through my USDM radiator support and found it easy to take out...but my real question is about the welder. Is there a centain type of welder I'll need for me to weld the JDM radiator support? I mean, I see diff amps and diff prices. I found one for $200 at home depot...has about 100 amp I believe. Will that do? If anyone can give me some info, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks guys....Hoping to finish my JDM project in 2 weeks w/ the paint job (candy apple red - House of Kolor)

Hey man-
You will want to buy yourself a MIG machine. The one that you saw at Home Depot was a MIG machine, but was very small and will not accept shielding gas, only flux-core welding. Spend a little more and buy a 135 amp machine from Lincoln, Miller, or Hobart. Lowes sells the Lincoln 135 for around $425 or so, then add $100 for a bottle of shielding gas, plus a helmet. Your probably looking around $600 to get everything you'll need and do it right. GOOD LUCK!

that welder will work on the radiator support due to the metal thickness as being thin take your time
