Hi Walt.

I welded my Delorean frame up from scratch with a Millermatic 185 MIG 
welder.  It works great.  It's probably a little more capacity than 
you need.  It will weld 1/2 plate in two passes.  It welds very 
smoothly.  It requires 208V-240V.  It will run on a dryer circuit 
with no problems.  An optional attachment, the spoolmate, can hold a 
1-lb roll of aluminum wire right at the welding tip.  I have not used 
this option, so I can't vouch for it.

My delorean's fuel tank is made of 0.059" 304 stainless steel, also 
welded with this welder, using stainless steel wire of course, and 
straight argon.
