Is the lincoln powertec 271c suitable for car body welding

parts list and diagram is in the user manual.
(pdf available at harbor frieght web site)

You need a smaller welder. Pick up a nice 110 unit that has at least 4 power settings. I have a lincoln 95 amp that will weld body panels on low and 1/2" on high.

Don't know what system is on a lincoln. If it has a pressure cap can be plastic welded. If itsonly an expansion tank epoxy resin should do. Hope this helps

Contacts of the main contact relay "CR-1" are likely fused together completing the circuit. Otherwise the trigger switch is fused closed.

The main contactor can sometimes be released, then dressing the contacts with a small point file (Small mill ******* about 1/4 inch wide and 1/16 inch thick.

Otherwise locating a contactor/relay of a suitable current rating with a control voltage/coil rating of 24 volts.

You can contact Powertec Fitness and they will email you a manual or send you a hard copy. Their Customer Service is great!

Looking for the owner's manual and/or assembly instructions for the Powertec Roller Smith machine.

Thanx!

Tough question to answer unless this is a project car for the off season. Buy a donor car that has a very good body and a wated engine and swap out the parts. To perform welding is extreamly hard for a do it your selfer. Stainless steel in fact welders hate to weld for its toxic as hell

unless there are some other tricks, the body has to be removed from the frame. terrible design.
