My 67 was preiviously owned by someone unable to weld. We're fixing it part by part.
Since I am in MI are there temp limits to welding. IN other words, can I weld at 40deg outside? Garage not heated (new one will be). I have heard yes and no to that question. Help? I was hoping to get quarters on prior to snow flying...

Not aware of any temp range for MIG welding. I guess if it is extreme cold, there might be an issue with the chemicals used (argon gas), but never heard of any. Maybe a pro can step in here?

There is nothing what so ever that you would have to worry about welding the mild steel on your car.

Clarification please? I may be mechanically inclined but terminology messes me up....
Does this mean the temp of the steel shouldn't make a difference?

Yes you can weld it in 40 deg weather. Wont make a difference...Eric

The only thing about the temp that could be a problem is shivering.
Yeah. I am a wimp, I live in So Cal.

You get the natural rolling motion in the weld from shivering motion!:cool:

First of all you need to get some drop material first, to set your welder,You may have to turn up your Heat on the welder a little bit more in cold weather, once the material heats up then you might have to turn down the heat on the welder...once you start seeing a nice weld,after the material heats up a little more, you can fine tune the welder better.Remember after every tac or weld cut the wire back before welding again,The main thing is to set your welder, so your comfortable with the welds your putting out. Make your self comfortable before welding. Chris :D

You guys are a riot! Thanks for the help. May get some done this weekend, (between biology exams and work)
