I'm looking into buying a welder mostly for light sheetmetal work, body repair.. How much can I get one for, like I said not for heavy duty, I have a buddy with a nice welder in his sghop.

Any model #'s your familiar with? Thanks, Chad

I just used my linoln mig pac 10 to weld my bed toegether after i bobbed it. It seemed to do pretty well. I used .035 fluxcore wire to do it. Probably would have turned out better to use gas and a smaller wire. I got some heat warpage from it but also this was my first time EVER welding sheat medal and dont do much welding in general anyway. My guess would be aby of the mig welders with gas would work. I know mine wanted the gas and smaller wire acording to teh directions but didnt have it so i used what i had. Hope taht helps a little.
