If you buy a mig, I'd go with a 170 minimum. Even though most everything on our cars is sheet you will find other things to weld once you have the setup. I have a 130 mig myself and wish I had bought one with more power. I have maxed it out on several occasions. I've even bused out the old stick welder on occasion because my mig just doesn't have enough. If you're absolutely sure sheet metal work is all you're ever going to do then the 135 is fine. I would say you probably wouldn't have any problem building a rotisserie with it but probably anything thicker and you will be wanting a larger one.
