Very interesting! Although you may want to invest in a decent gas MIG welder. Even one from Harbor Freight (Hobart Welders). It will honestly make your life so much easier and your car much prettier with less grinding work.

But you really should invest in a good welder if you are doing this much welding. Ones you weld with a good machine you will wonder why you ever used a shity one. Worlds apart.
These guys always have free shipping on Hobart machines. They are great DIY MIG welders. I have the 140 and love it.

What ever you get, you want a MIG that lets you adjust the wire speed and power separately. You also want those two knobs to have a good bit of adjustment so that you can comfortably weld thicker and thinner metals. With my 140 I can do body work, and with a bit of preheating I can weld some super thick stuff together as well.

They're probably for those plastic covers that go over them/
