I have no idea about welding or anything like that...but i think an electric would workj better...and i'm pretty sure you just sand off(or cut off) the rust, then weld the shit on...I think thats what they did on HP TV one time...i love that show

I dont sugess you try to weld your car's body if you have never weld before. Its harder then it looks, I am currently taking a welding class at college, its better be safe then sorry.

I sugess you learn it or get someone who have experience to do it so you wont ruin your car.
