Nonsense. Oxy-acetylene welding and brazing have been used for decades
on car and truck bodies.

Eh? Since car bodies became unitary construction, spot welding is the norm
in production. And repairing a panel without distortion with oxy-acetylene
welding is said to be very difficult in all the books I've read.

Besides, a MIG welder is the cheaper option.
