Don,
Instead of a stick, I would buy a gas rig
first (it will cut, braze, weld, heat, etc.),
most anything you need it to do. A mig is
much better, easier, faster, less distortion
on sheet metal, though.
I bought some very small tips for my Victor
torch, and can do sheet metal, slowly,
carefully with wet towels, etc. A mig would
be much faster.
However, having that "big blue wrench" in the
shop means there is no nut you cannot remove. ;)
Seriously, getting that torch in my garage
was one of the very best things I ever did
for my self (the others include a 30 gallon
tank parts washer and a decent air compressor).
