Everything you've described that an arc is great for, is crap I've never welded. It just depends on what you're working on. for the hobbyist automotive...

I'd go with a mig, and I'd have someone that knows what they are doing weld the inner c's back on with an arc and the right rods. The rest you'll be happy you have a mig.

try here, we got our welder and plasma cutter from them.

That is the welder we borrowed from Flem for the past year or so. I think it's a great welder, it's what I welded my cage up with. I think he had some issues with regulators or something. Ask Flem...
