Any recommendations on a favorite MIG welder for auto body sheet
metal?

You have conflicting objectives, wanting a MIG that can do heavier
welding, including aluminum, but still a best choice for autobody.

An excellent welder for autobody is the Lincoln SP125 plus, may be
SP135plus now, with continuously variable heat setting. If you
visit a restoration or custom body shop, that's what you'll see at
the workstations.

Ayup..basiclly an updated and improved Weldpak.

Got the Weldpak 100 with gas . Works sweet on up to 3/16" stick , for
bigger there's a Tombstone under the bench .
For body panel type stuff I tack-n-skip then go back and do it again ,
then again . Helps keep flat panels flat - especially if I hammer-n-dolly
the welds between passes .
