This is good advice in my opinion. I bought a MIG welder and I don't regret
it at all. It is the only choice for sheet metal unless you have a spot
welder. I have also welded some thicker stock (~1/16" or so) with good
results. It is also very easy to use. With no previous welding experience,
I was able to run a couple of practice beads on scrap, then start welding
on my car with good results.
I do have a friend that is handy with a stick welder for those bigger jobs.
I would also recommend getting one of these :).
