I'm thinking about picking up an oxy acetylene setup for an old '60s Ducati project I've got. I need to do some heating up of rusted together stuff, take the cutting torch to other things, heat up and unbend some frame loops, some welding here and there - things like that.
I haven't done any oxy acetylene welding in about 25 years (back when I was in college). I found it really easy to do, much easier than when I did tried some mig welding. That seemed much harder to get the technique right.
So my questions are what kind of things are the oxy acetylene set ups good for, are the Harbor Freight sets any good, what are things to look for and good brands to look for when buying used from Craigslist and eBay, are they good for welding body panels on a car? Thanks for any advice you can give me.
