door jamb air tube, braze or weld? Options

[bbrock]

Time for another episode of "Overthinking the Build." I planned to braze in the fresh air tube in the door jamb and the corner at the bottom of the jamb to match what the factory did. Brazing makes sense in those spots. Problem is, I don't have a torch and haven't been able to find one to rent or borrow (we are down to only one tool rental outfit around here). Can't justify the expensive of an acetylene torch. Bernzomatic has a cheap MAPP/Oxygen brazing rig but the reviews are pretty much universally shitty. Starting to think grabbing the MIG and being done with it is the way to go. Let's assume this was a "high end" restoration. Would that be acceptable?

Thanks guys! Everything you've said is right in line with what I was thinking, so I was all set to just weld the thing even though my neighbor is close by, it would still be a hassle to drag his rig over here, relearn how to braze since I haven't done it in 30 years. You can see where I already tacked them just to hold in place while I checked my door gaps. But he just showed up at my house with his torch in the back of his pickup. So I'll give the brazing a go.
