Argon or Argon CO2 mix shielding works best for body panels.
Oxy-Acetylene Torch Set. You can do some real damage with this but it can be very handy.
Engine hoist for removing and installing the engine. It also works great for holding your doors in place to get
the bolts in the hinges.

areas and a smaller one for touch-up and smaller areas.
