It was in the 'detailing' section and since we do not have 'welding' section I moved it to the section of the vehicle he mentioned, a Dakota.

 

Yeah which should work fine for you. I looked at being able to use it anywhere with no problems(work,cabin,paps,neighbors). Everyone has 110 so that wouldnt be a problem where not everyone has access to a 220 line.

 

Personally, I would (and did) buy a 220V machine, especially if you're going to do any heavy-duty welding. Using flux-core wire outdoors is good advice, at least if it's windy outside or portability is a big concern.

It's much more difficult to weld decently with a stick welder than it is with a MIG. And there's not much a stick will do that a MIG won't. For what you want to do, there's no reason to own both, IMO.

FWIW, my machine is a Lincoln Power Mig 255 that's probably close to 20 years old.

This isn't a picture of mine, but it looks exactly the same:
