Hey guys and gals! I’m an amateur who likes to weld but I’ve never actually welded on a car. I have a 100 series I want to chop part of the front frame rails off of and beef up for mounting a bumper to. I’ll likely use my TIG welder with Hi Freq start. My understanding is to disconnect the battery (negative only?) and ensure ground path is close to the electrode and not through anything sensitive. Sound about right?
I’ve read to disconnect the battery but no details provided. It would seem to me more sensible to disconnect the positive if you only disconnect one as it’s a negative grounded system. Maybe you disconnect and insulate both? I have no idea. Searches here only indicate to disconnect battery. Any help greatly appreciated!
