Take a look at my project today. After I sat back and looked at the completed job, I'm starting to think I have no business welding anything...

I got the job done, and I could dance on the pass-side floor, but does anyone have tips for welding?

I'm using a Lincoln-Electric Pro-Core 100 welder. It's served me well, but I'm not sure I'm using the right settings.

(Forgot to take a pic before I primed it)

I'm using 16ga on the floor, and 18ga on the back firewall. I've got to replace the piece where the seat-belt connects to the long, but that'll have to wait till I can find a drillpress that will work on the 10ga piece I have for there. (Interestingly enough, the long was REAL nice inside...the belt-bolt area was the only part that was hosed.)

Am I as bad as I think?
