Looking for Body Tool Suggestions

Sort of a quick question for all the body guys or others that have tackled body repair on their trucks. Read through pages and pages in the body forum on here, but I couldnt find a specific thread on basic tools to start with. I have been procrastinating way to long to start work on my truck. I am looking for a decent grinder suggestion. Corded, since I will be working in my garage and dont need another set of batteries and chargers clogging up my already limited work bench space. I have looked at Dewalt, Milwaukee and a few others. There are dozens of versions of almost each one. I dont need top of the line, since I only am planning to do this as a project and not for a living. There are 4.5 up to 7in grinders with varying amp ratings. I am looking for something that versitale enough to cut out patch panels, grind down some paint and welds. And the usual messy work.

Also any recommendations on cutting discs( thickness and diameter). Also grinding or flap discs you have used and have had good luck with.

Appreciate any info. Thanks.

Drew

ps. Im working on my '52 3100.
