Hey Guys,

I need a recommendation for an AFFORDABLE expert welder to install some electric cutouts. Northwest suburbs preferred. Thanks in advance for the help!

I am looking for an affordable welder. Not a tuner that charges $100 PER HOUR to do some welding. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've taken some cars to Velasquez & Sons in Mundelein for muffler swaps and exhaust systems from scratch. They've always treated me right and they did a great job. Couldn't be happier.

Thanks Guys,

You are the best. I was thinking of Iggy's or Ced's from back in the late 60's. I will definitely give them a shout, just for nostalgia if nothing else! :-)
