    Great video thanks. I got a flux core to start but I've found that it can't do the really thin sheet metal on my car without blowing holes all the time. Am going to switch to a gas MIG instead

    To my experience, a too small welder is always a bad investment, you will find the end very fast and you'll replace with a more powerful one. For an average amateur, a 200 amp MIG welder with infinite voltage control is a very good go anywhere welding machine as you can weld body sheetmetal to 1/4" thick metal in a single pass and generally, these machines have an acceptable stability over the range you'll use in an amateur perspective.
    Of course, gas shielded solid wire is the most easy to use and the result is excellent,
    More performing gas shielded wires and solid aluminum, stainless and bronze specialty wires can also be welded with this type of machine but the application is a bit outside the range than an average amateur will do.
    As usual, practice makes excellence.

    I built my first streetrod in 2008 with a Lincoln 135 flux core did well but the splatter and sinus issues just not healthy,,,, then I bought my miller 180 auto set gas shield and never looked back,,night and day difference..

    Anti Spatter spray is also key with FCAWS

    I know I'm kinda late but that Miller machine looks a lot like the machines I used in a shop I used to work at (Multimatic I believe). If so it can also do GMAW/MIG and Flux, it's a true joy to use!
