I hate flux. I can't agree with you more on the shielding gas setup. Not sure if the OP wants to get the whole tank setup and everything though. The Dad might get frustrated with the spatter and trash that the flux spits out though.

OP, if your dad is welding thin gauge type metal a tig setup may be better. More money and more skill involved though.
