Volfy,

I have a MIG welder that works very well for thin steel but I can't get near as nice of welds with aluminum. I bought the Argon gas, aluminum sheath for the gun, different tips, and aluminum wire. The MIG leaves a lot of splatter and will suffice for about 3/32" or thicker but for thinner stuff go with a TIG. I cut out the parts and have my friend TIG weld them and they turn out beautiful.

I have been contemplating buying a TIG welder and plasma cutter for my hobby interests. I have wanted to build mufflers and motor mounts for other modelers for years and would not be in it for the profit so much as the enjoyment of fabricating unique objects. If there is enough interest from other modelers, I will buy them and post a notice here.
