I know this should probably be in Advanced Fabrication, but I cannot post there. I was wandering if I can make a nice front bumper with just a little Lincoln wire welder? Will the welds be strong enough compared to maybe MIG? I took some welding classes in high school and done some welding with my dad on a race car we built (a looooong time ago) so I think with a day or so of practice I can pick back up on it. This question comes up due to the fact that I fell down in a hole that was WAY deeper than I thought 2 days ago and hit the drivers side end panel, pushing it up and popping off the drivers flare. Now, I do NOT have the money for a aftermarket bumper thats like I want(especially after paying $200 to straigten out my front end), and was thinking of trying to make one. After seeing some of the ones you guys have made. As long as its STRONG and looks like it matches the body lines of the XJ, I will be very happy.
Thanks for any input!
