In that case, I'd suggest buying a couple "How-to" MIG welding books
(or search for the online equivalent).  Go to your local equipment
rental place, and rent a MIG for a day and screw around with a bunch
of scrap steel.  It really isn't hard.  With sound theory behind you
(books/research), all it takes is some practice...  It would help if
you have someone with you that has some experience, but not totally
necessary...

Later,

Mark.
