yup, I tried doing some crazy stuff like that once. I picked up a china plasma cutter/stick/tig welder a while back and mostly tig weld now unless I'm in a hurry then I use my Clark mig welder (copy of a miller that when I bought it was about 1/3 the price of a miller)
if you are welding (especially filling a hole or gap) thin metal then using a brass/copper backing plate is really helpful. you can make one from old copper tubing
