welding aluminum requires TIG. It's harder and more specialized.

welding mild steel body panels are simple with equipment any body shop will have.

Hell any home 120v wire welder can do mild steel. It is the cutting and shaping part that is hard.

No, that's easy as well. It's the not breaking to pieces and looking like shit part that is hard.
