I am installing Sub connectors in my 71 and was wondering if a Electric 110 mig welder would do the trick. My car is not movable at this point and to get a bigger welder froma friend would be a pain in my but. So any info would be awseome. Thanks

To answer that you really need more info.
Amps?

If your 120 volt welder has about 100 amps it should weld them. I use to have a 120 Century gas mig welder and I welded 1/8 material with it and had good results. I think it was a 110 amp machine and I never used max amps to weld. RM

make sure before welding anything that you level the car (front to rear,side o side )when it's up on jack stands - you dont want the car to be unlevel and then next thing ya know you have funky door gaps or worse yet , the car wont go down the track straight

once it's welded your locked in - unless you grind or plasma cut it back out
