If you have no welding experience, I'd suggest a MIG but make sure to get the complete setup with the gas. A 120 v version is fairly reasonable even for a name brand. I happen to have a Lincoln but there are several other good brands (Miller for one) out there as well. Even with little experience with a mig you can do decent job on thin metal but yes, practice and research before going after body panels. With the 110 you can even weld reasonably thick metal. I made a swinging tire rack for my '57 Willys out of 2" thick wall tubing holding a 33" tire & rim and it worked out well (it didn't break off!).

I'm sure others will chime in with suggestions but if you get one, I'm sure you'll have fun.

Good luck,

Keith
