Re: MI: Welder

Again, what everyone else has said, flux core is for welding on bridges out in the wind, for auto body, gas is the ONLY way to go. It's a few more dollars and you will find it useful over the years after you are done with the truck. A 110 135 am welder will do about anything you ever could need with sheetmetal. HOWEVER. a 220 volt 200+ amp welder will weld anything you want (realistically) now and in the future and it's nice to have.
