Yeah that's right, 1/2 cage and the bumper support in the front were all chromoly.
MIG is great, fast, easy to learn. TIG is slow, time consuming, more accurate though.... so it depends on what you're doing.
I bought my TIG a bunch of years ago before I started the engine swap, lots o' custom shit on this project. I had never picked up a TIG torch in my life. I'd seen it done a bunch. Bought the machine, bought a book, talked to a bunch of pros that I knew, and just started messing around with it. I am by no means a pro welder, but I can get by 
Unless you're planning on using a bunch of AL for your build (which I was, I wanted everything AL to save weight because I knew I was going to be adding a bunch of weight with everything), just go with the MIG. Miller just came out with a 211 auto-set. If I we're looking for a new first welder, I would go with that one.
