Actually gas or oxy welding sheetmetal is the way to go if you plan on working weld or panel. They put in more heat but the weld is softer and workable. A mig welded seam can't be worked or anything like a oxy or even tig weld can
If you plan on doing patch panel work use a mig. If you are going to get into some real metal working high quality stuff use the oxy or tig.
Most guys mig up a panel and then grind off 95% of the weld and some of the orig metal making a very weak joint. Try hitting it with a hammer and dolly after it is ground down and you will understand. It takes practice to weld thin sheetmetal no matter what type of welder used.
