I would suggest that you go the real MIG route. Especially on sheet
metal you can weld thinner stuff much easier and cleaner with gas
shielding and .023" wire rather than .030 or .035 flux core.
Especially if you are a gas welding type, you will like the bead on
real MIG better than flux cored wire (but you'll like the gas welded
bead best ;-) ).
