^^^What they said.
A 110 volt Lincoln does quite well for bodywork with .024 wire and Steelmix gas. I have used one of their 220 volt welders and was impressed as well.
If you need a welder to do heavy stuff as well, I recommend a Miller Millermatic 251. You can weld anything from sheet metal to heavy plate with one of those.
Flux Core is ok for some applications (I use it in mine for doing odds and ends away from the shop so I don't have to drag a bottle around), but bodywork is not one of them.
Start practicing on scrap chunks of 1/8" thick until you get a technique figured out. Sheet metal can be a pain in the butt to work with.
