I've done a lot of work with gasless mig and it's fine as long as you practice on some scrap before you start. you need to remove the paint/ rust on the lip where the panel meets on the car and on the new a panel. I would also recommend drilling about 4 holes in the lip of the a-panel, one at the top and one at the bottom with the other evenly spaced in between, and weld through them onto the shell. this is called plug welding and will trun out much neater.
