Yeah, look like some nice welds for flux core....I have a cheapo craftsman welder with flux core wire...it's real finicky and never seems to be just right....and I'm a welder for a living! lol

Nice work though, I'm interest to see how the carpet will fit(or not).

me too :flame:
this is jus a small cheap-o HOBART. it works well enough for garage work. its a fun transition from a lincoln 275 square wave TIG to this lil HOBART flux core

i havent made a full decision on carpet yet, but id imagine it will get notched around the rear sections of the subframes. we shall see...

I wish I could make my flux core welds look like that, but then again I am no welder. I am a machinist who pretends he can weld. :)

Well, at least you're honest with yourself!

there arent enough adjustments on the front of this welder. i find myself gettin it close with the s, and fine tuning with the amount of stick out i use. it works for me anyhow.

practice, practice, practice

all cleaned up and painted
