A cracker box welder is a portable transformer welder for stick welding. They last for years and have nothing to wear out to speak of. Mine now has cracks in the leads it is so old and time to renew those. You can find them at garage/estate sales where the first owner has passed on. The one I...
There is a company called "Lindblad" that offer some inexpensive coil overs that really work well. I have used them in the past and for a no frills car they are perfect and the spring rate that the guess are really close.

I totally agree, look into a 110v miller for bang for the buck. Also remember buy the time you chip the flux off you'll likely have more warps than with a gas welder. Save your money and don't just buy price.
Wire is cheaper at tractor supply and also gas. If you buy a cheap welder you'll save...
Affordable Street Rods makes the best kit that I know of and it comes with enough wire to do a station wagon, a large station wagon. Call Rich Fox, he's the most help there is when it comes to wiring your car. http://affordablestreetrods.com/
