Reply to "MIG welder"

I have heard a lot of old guys do sheet metal repair with it. As much heat as it puts into the metal, would tig be better? I know I mig'd several pieces on the MG (before I learned to use the tig). I had to widen the tunnel for a Camero T-5. I had to rebuild the nose near the headlight buckets on both fenders. I had to rebuild the round part below the tail lights. The only part I had trouble with was the large pannel between the door and the rear wheel. The first time I miged it and got it too hot. It was a good learning curve. I really learned about shrinkage. I cut that piece out, formed a new piece and did it right the second time.

I watched Dream car garage where the welder did an aluminum Cobra hood. My brother and I were both comenting how; even though they tried not to show you the finish weld, it looked like he had a lot of trouble with it.
