calhere,

The price is right on the welder you have linked (Harbor Freight), but as Racecarl points out, you will be less than happy with it because it's a flux core ONLY setup. This particular process requires more heat which is what you DON'T want on thin body panels.

A MIG welder that uses a solid wire (.023) and a shielding gas is the ticket. There are many 120 volt units around that fit this bill. They are just a little more expensive because they have some added do-dads that address the shielding gas, but they make welding thin stuff a pleasure. The flux core unit will not make you happy at all.
