Paul Dehnert purchased this 1967 Chevelle SS396 4-speed in January 2006 from a Phoenix collector, who restored the car to its present factory original state after its career as a drag racer. Its L78 396/375 HP V-8 is a correctly coded replacement engine installed as part of the restoration. “Sleeper” enthusiasts will appreciate the car’s low-key presentation characterized by its Royal Plum Metallic paint, Black vinyl roof and Redline tires on painted steel wheels with dog dish hub caps. The crisp Black bench seat interior is highlighted by the correct factory Muncie shifter and unique optional “blinker” tachometer.

With so many choices of welding machines on the market today, how does a novice welding operator choose what he or she needs? There are a couple of key questions that can guide you through the process and narrow down your selection to make the choice a little easier.

Ask yourself the following:

1. Which arc welding process best suits my needs?
Beginners will usually turn to either a wire feed or stick welding process, but which is the best one for your particular application? Wire feed welding (also referred to as wire welding) offers a number of benefits. First, it provides higher productivity efficiencies over stick since the wire is fed in a continuous process and you don't have to constantly change stick electrode rods as you are welding. Second, wire welding has a lower skill level requirement and can be picked up more readily. With stick, you have to coordinate your hand movements for feeding the electrode rod into the weld puddle, while with wire you just press the trigger and weld. Although there may be some applications where stick might be a better selection, most beginners should look toward wire welding when making their first welding machine purchase.

Time-Tested Classic AC-225 Stick Welder Turns 50 Years Old. The extremely popular AC-225 stick welder from Lincoln Electric celebrates a half century in production. This familiar ‘tombstone’ shaped AC stick welder, affectionately known as a ‘buzzbox’ or ‘crackerbox’ throughout the welding industry and farm, small shop and DIY marketplace, was first produced on May 12, 1961, at Lincoln Electric’s factory in Cleveland, OH.

The compact rectifier-based welder produces an extremely smooth AC arc for welding on a variety of materials, including carbon, low alloy and stainless steels as well as cast iron. The 40-225 amp range allows the operator to handle up to 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) carbon steel electrodes and up to 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) electrode diameters for other materials.
