Welding 4130 Chrome Moly Wheelie Bars

I've got a set of Jegs Chrome Moly wheelie bars that I need to build. My question is, should I just tack them with a mig and take them to be finished with a tig or can I do it all with the mig? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the info. How complicated is this swap to do. I'm trying to do this on a tight budget and I don't know of any shops close by that does this kind of work. Again, thanks for the help and I'm sure I'll be asking more questions.

Need Advice on a Vega Frontend

I've got a 77 backhalved Vega. The frontend is all stock and I was wondering what I could do to make it a little bit safer. It's gutted with a full cage and aluminum interior with lexan glass all around. The car is all steel except the hood. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
