I'm no pro welder but I have researched a bit on the matter. If you want to do any body work I would recommend the Gas Shielded MIG Setup, It is a clean weld without any slag removal required. If you go the flux cored wire route your looking at a weld that ends up having to have slag chipped off ot the welded surface.
I had a Lowes brand Welder ( Cambell Housefield ) it had a the preset regulator for gas use built onto the Unit and it worked great for my welding needs ( Cost about 400.00 ) but recently I purchased a Miller unit for Finer Voltage and wire speed control. ( 1,100.00 )
In the Welding Arena you truely do get what you pay for. All my welding/cutting equipment is Miller Now.
