The Handler 140 is a good unit. I've been drooling over a Lincoln Power Mig 216. But it's like $1800. And right now I need parts for the 54 more then that welder. But someday I'll get that bad boy!
Yep I noticed the plasma cutter in the pic. How's it working out for you?Comment

I've never used it
But, I am going to! I have a lot of metalwork to do! I have to do some cutting and welding on the drip rail areas (rust, driprail delete), some work on the cab, on the bed, etc. Should be fun!
Also, Naval Jelly is GOOD SHIT!1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"

took the rust clean off the trunk of my mark. still just with rattle can primer on it, but NO rust on that lower lip. Since it's on the inside and not viewable when the trunk is closed... meh. Next owner can fix that.

Well it'll be nice to have once you start the metal work!
I know all about having a lot of metal work to do!!
At least you aren't cutting your cab in half!
Yes but it's messy shit too!

Are you having someone else assemble the heads for you? Theres a special tool you need to lock the cams in position to install the chains. Those gears are just taper fit, no keys.

I'm going to buy the OTC kit from Summit.
The machine shop will do the actual work on the heads. Nothing fancy, just some cleanup, gasket matching, and a valve job.1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"
