First off, I want you to know that I have never used a wirefeed welder.

I have a '54 3600 that is going to need some welding done on the body. I'm thinking about buying a wirefeed welder but I know absolutely nothing about them. Most of what I will be doing will be sheetmetal, but may get a little heavier once I get into the truck further. Nothing really heavy as I understand that a stick welder is better for the heavier stuff.

I want to spend less than $300, if possible, but can go a little more if need be to get a unit that I will be happy with.

Any advice, tips, etc. that you folks can give me as to brands, amps, whatever would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
