Ti can be MIG welded, it's done every day. Just apply the same principals (including trailing and back purge gas shielding) and it works great. (Edit: I read "can't be MIG welded" in the above post, but I'll leave this anyway)
You do not need an argon chamber to weld Ti. It's nice for small parts, sure. The article linked above outlines everything you need to know about welding Ti in open air.
And just a note since it sounds like you're starting from scratch: Chrome Moly is not any lighter than mild steel. The weight savings comes from being able to use thinner material to acheive the same strength.
