My Model A project. Done with a Miller 220, 225, or whatever it is. 200 amp, 220v machine with .035 wire. .025 tends to birdcage if I'm not paying attention or put a sharp bend in the hose. But .035 is certainly doable for sheet metal. Adjust your machine to the proper settings and take your time doing a lot of spread out zot zots! BTW, do yourself a favor and save a few bucks. Always turn off your gas valve when not welding. There is a better chance for leakage through the valve and machine when not in use. That will result in either running out of gas in the middle of a project, or having to run down to the welding supply for a refill more than you should.
