keep trying and you'll get it. my car has been a 5 year project and i hadnt welded much of anything before i started. i look at some of the first welds i did on this car and almost vomit. its amazing how practice helps.
less stickout can do a few things for you; it will make your placement more accurate, increase the heat and decrease your vision. i find that i get a sloppy gun angle the closer i get, but i do weld much better with about 1/4" stickout.
