Thanks guys. I got good heat through the metal evidenced by the paint on the back side burning off. With this welder I have rarely gotten a good, obvious blue heat area to show itself on the same side as the weld. I also had already taken a wire brush to these welds before taking the pictures. I can try making adjustments to my technique and the welder if it's important that I get a good heat area on the same side as the weld.

I also was moving very slowly around the piece. It took me a few hours over two days to weld everything. I wanted to make sure the UCA mount didn't warp or move since that was a question that was raised when Gerno was having so much trouble getting his alignment into spec. I'm using the same Speed Tech arms and my coil over bracket is similar. Before and after measurements were the same. I think I might try to move a little faster on the passenger side, but I honestly don't care if I do or not. I've got time.

Thanks guys
