I plan on cutting out the rusted sheet metal in the fenders, floor, and trunk. I want to weld new steel onto the car, grind the welds smooth and paint over. What gauge size and steel type should I use given that I have a Lincoln 120V MIG welder and some limited welding experience? I have a welding blanket to protect splatter. I have never attempted this sort of project before. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!
