I've got a Lincoln SP100 and it's been one of the best investments I've ever made.

For patching floor panels, I use .025 wire with 75/25 Argon-CO2. Forget welding thin sheet metal with flux-core; it runs way too hot.

It isn't a fun job as all of the undercoating/paint has to be ground down to bare metal before the patch panel is installed. It helps to have a lift.

After I weld in the patch panels, I paint the area with Rust Bullet and then spray on 3M undercoating.
