Why?? You'd be far better off with a mig.

Oxy acetylene is a much more dangerous combination, they would evacuate the whole street if your garage was on fire

It might not be an issue but its best to check the last thing you need is a claim they wont pay

Gasses used for MIG TIG etc are inert. Gas welding has it's uses but for body/chassis work the good old MIG takes some beating, less heat distortion, far less fire risk and in the long run a damn sight cheaper.
