1st time welder

Hello all, my dad and I are planning on doing a mini tub and spring leaf relocation on my 66 dart however neither one of us knows very much about welding. My dads a carpenter and I am pretty handy so hopefully between the two of us we can figure it out lol.

What welder do you guys recommend for a beginner? Something easy to use and not super expensive would be great!

I will be documenting the project on my restoration thread if anybody wants to see us tackle the project. Thanks in advance.
