It's a great excuse to pick up a welder. Like they said above, get a MIG unit with gas shielding, 75% argon - 25% CO2. I use small wire, .022". A grinder and a little bondo will fix up any sloppy welds visible underneath, if that bothers you. I use the Hobart Handler 135, 120V with Ar-CO2. Works great. Cost about $600 total
