Learning to weld in Calgary? So, my '70 Impala has a blown LQ9 (that was the fun part!), now it needs quarter panels... So I need to learn to weld...
Anybody can recommend a place in Calgary to learn "autobody welding for the hobbyist"?
Thanks!

Go to Canadian Tire and buy a Lincoln Electric MIG PAK and a **** load of scrap metal and go to town! practice building little things. They can be used as a flux core or a MIG. I use mine just as a Flux core and with some practice your welds can be awesome. Thats what i did.. works great for me!

Oh and there's a TON of YouTube videos that have really good tips/pointers on welding for beginners.
Good luck!
