Hi Dave..
Mig is fast and messy,TIG is slow and clean..Stick is the way I would go...If it dosen't have to be certified...
7018,7024 or 6013...in that order would be my preference....
Play with the amperage and grind a bevel on your weld joints before welding..
disconect your battery before welding on any vehicle...

If you are using mild steel to replace armour these methods are good for mild steel..If you are welding armour plate then I agree with Chris...Bevel,preheat and stainless or Ni rod..
