What's a good intro welder for subframe connectors?

I'm really afraid of the quality of Harbor Freight stuff. Hate to have a expensive paper weight.
I did mine about 6 years ago with my $89 flux wire Harbor Freight welder... In the height of the time I was drag racing. I made my own out of 4 ft sticks of steel from the steelyard..
Car pulled the front tire off the ground... They're still on there just fine...
I bought the steel at the steelyard, the Harbor Freight welder, the Harbor Freight gloves, and the Harbor Freight automatic helmet for less than a set of store-bought frame connectors that had to be welded anyways...
I built my sled deck for my snowmobiles with that Harbor Freight welder and every other job I've had to do and it still works perfect...
