Don't kill yourself if you're not building a 1.3MM SEMA car.... A thin skim coat of bondo and some primer and block sanding works just fine. I prefer low spots over high spots... high spots are a biatch...

I'm being totally serious here.

Few people are ever going to do enough work like this to be doing "metal work". TIG or no TIG... TIG is just a finer art of welding - and it is more versatile - cleaner - and blah blah blah... but being able to TIG won't make you a metal worker so don't over estimate its significance.
That is some sage sh!t right there. Way to put it in perspective GW!
