Oooh! You really don't want to be doing bodywork with an arc welder! Oxy-Acetyline is bad enough.
Back in the 80's I was replacing inner and outer sills on my ZB Magnette. I did the first side with an Oxy-Acetyline rig and it took me all weekend. I did the second side with a MIG and it took 4 hours. Even though it was my first time using a MIG the results were far better as well as much easier.
I do hate it when sparks drop into my ear though!

Yes welding sparks in the ear are horrible
And doing what I did once - I wanted just a quick tack weld to hold the metal in place so decided just to position the torch then look away instead of using the mask, except I forgot to look away I had a white patch in my vision for ages - I wont do that again!
