um you need a good deal of power to melt and fuse metal together, sure you will need more power for something thick but i can't see needing anything outradgous for this

A $400 MIG unit with gas lines (shielding - I would never use flux core wire) is more than enough. You are merely welding here and the thickness of this steel is what ... less than 1/4" ... you could Oxy-Ace them with filler rod for that matter ... these people of whom you speak are on crack! I think that is just their excuse to get you to leave

Your best bet is find a race car fabricator in your area ... if you can't locate one, go to your local metal/welding supply store and ask around. If anyone is buying welding supplies & metal tubing, it would be the car builders out there. Get one of them to help you out

Never ever use it, or just never use it for this application? I've been using flux core wire for years, more for the convenience than anything else.
