welding to the frame Are there any special things I have to consider when MIG welding to the frame? I will disconnect the battery, clean up the areas to be welded, etc, but is there anything else that has to be done? I need to weld some support brackets. Im assuming that MIG flux cored wire would be best to get the most penetration.
Thanks
Thanks

I've had my car welded on (exhaust) while it was running. Didn't seem to matter.
