Rob,
I've heard nothing good about fluxcore wire. You should rig it for gas. I
believe I use an argon/co2 mix (ask your local welding supply) and 0.030 wire.
The secret to mig welding body panels is to never run a bead, just tack it until
all the tacks are connected. This way you avoid heat build up and distortion.
Some work I've done on my boattail speester is on the net at
