You might have some trouble welding thin stuff with a stick, but the kind of tubing used for these builds is pretty thick. Little issue with blow thru. If you don't have a scrap yard around, you can get black steel plumbing pipe from a hardware store for around a buck a foot(If you get the ten foot sticks) The stuff is heavy but is easy to weld, grind, and will fit a Harbor Freight(Super cheap) tubing bender.
Call them Fiesta carts if you want to be PC.
