first of all i'm brand new to the site, so i want to say hi. now to my problem, i have a small auto restoration shop, and a customer with a 1938 ford coupe came in because some body welded a heidts superride 2 front suspension in it, and the top hot broke loose last weekend. i am a certified mig welder, plus i just bought a miller syncho 185 that i'm getting pretty nice welds out of. my problem is somebody came in today and told me i should stick weld the hat back on. normally i wouldn't pay this much mind, everybody has opinions, but this is a old time metal worker that knows his stuff. so i was wondering if i should tig stick or mig this thing together. i was also told that a tig weld is your strongest, safest weld, but now i'm second guesing this, so if somebody knows please let me know cause safety is first for me.

If your MIG is big enough to do the job, go for it. As a certified weldor, you know the capabilities of your own equipment better than anyone. I think most pro shops would TIG a weld in a suspension part, but that's just one mans' opinion.
