BrianG, find a good, experienced TIG welder. A Revo chassis is way too thin to MIG weld properly. I use Miller 251 MIG welder at work and use a spool gun to do aluminum. $2500 for the welder and $1300 for the spool gun. It's great for doing .25" 6061 or thicker, but it's really easy to blow through thinner sheets.

TIG on the other hand gives you a lot more control when welding and the welds come out stronger and nicer looking. If bdebde's good, have him do it.
