Welding help
New to the site but enjoying all the info. I just sold my tig welder because I never used it and now I find myself wanting to do a sand car body out of aluminum panels. I have a mig but it is not AC.
So would it be easier to learn to weld thin aluminum using a tig or gas welding it. I see the welding/cutting torch sets designed for welding? Any insight?

I started on the TIG a long time back, and today I have both the TIG and gas torches. I still weld thin sheet with the torch, but I use TIG and a DC motor-generator to arc weld the thick stuff. For some guys the torch is quick and easy and makes good strong joints. For others, the TIG is easier to hold and dial in - and the torch doesn't come with a foot pedal.
