Can I use mig welding to weld on lamborghini style doors on my car?

i want to put Lamborghini style doors on my car and i want to mig weld it and can i also weld things to the chassis like if i would put air suspension on it, and does mig welding require any gas or should i put it on a specific number?|||First off, are you a good welder? If you have limited experience, you will not get good weld penetration with a MiG welder. Also if you use one of the cheap welders that you can buy at Lowe's or auto parts stores, they don't produce enough power to get a deep penetrating weld.


MIG means machine inert gas. Those cheap welders are called MiG but are just wire feed welders and not MiG. You must use gas to get a good weld. A cheap gas to use if you are a good welder is carbon dioxide. The weld is good only if you are very experienced. Next you can use 75/25 gas mix which is 75 % argon and 25 % carbon dioxide. Doesn't take as much skill and produces a reasonable weld. For a top job, use 100% argon. It costs a little more but does so much more.


If you buy a MiG, get a good one in the $2000 dollar range, such as a commercial Lincoln, Miller or Hobart. Go to welding school at your local Vo-tech and practice, practice, practice. Once you learn, you can weld car doors, bodies, exhaust, frame or anything else you so desire. As a good MiG welder, you can get a top paying job and be set for life. I prefer a auto darkening helmet when I weld. It makes learning so much easier.|||let a professional do it before you screw it up|||If it's a Home depot welder good luck. My Miller Mig welder came with flux core wire and no gas have since upgraded to regular wire and gas does a nicer job. Flip the cover open it should have a chart for thickness and the proper settings. For larger jobs with a small welder you can grind a deeper channel/ bevel edges then fill it in
