Keep the updates coming
Thanks for the kind words. To answer your question, I had never even owned a welding machine much less weld. I bought the machine off of Ebay, then rounded up a few scrap pieces of sheetmetal from some builders I know and started practicing on plug welds, then moved into butt welding sheetmetal. Trust me, I don't claim to be a welder.

Hopefully the car doesn't fall apart when I drive it (IF I ever get to finish it!!!).
