Default Lincoln MIG-135 okay for sheet metal?

hey ya'll,

I plan on buying the body of a 69 camaro soon. and it will need significant sheet metal repair, (floor panels, quarter panel, firewall etc)

so I figured, Hey, I better learn how to weld before I buy it lol

so I was wondering if this welder would be an ok newbie welding machine and also be good for sheet metal.

please let me know what ya'll think!

thanks,
John

I have used a 135 for autobody welding. The 135 Plus (continuous voltage adjustment) works better IMO but 135 does work well. I picked up a Power Mig 140 (wanted a 140C but ended up getting the 140) relatively recently but haven't had a chance to use it.
