There's decades of oil soaked into that frame and all bets are off on keeping your TIG torch clean.

If you haaaaave to use the TIG then you should sandblast the frame clean.

After grinding the area clean, I would use the MIG and pour the heat on. I've had some purdy welds pop right off after cooling down.
