Default Re: Rivets or weld?

"Why" is a great question. I don't know about the early frames but as the years rolled on , the carbon content of car/truck frames went up to make them stronger. Unless you are planning to draw the weld back with a torch, mig would be a poor choice. Would stick welding it with a low carbon rod like 1018 be a better choice than 6011? I'd like to know.
