All caught up. Good morning men.......Yes Chris, your welding will get better the more you do......You have a nice welding machine.....more then capable of making good welds on sheet metal.....If it were me, those parts for the transmission hump, I would start over, and flange the parts, not butt welded. At least till you get better. You need to learn how to stretch and shrink metal IMO. Get a English wheel......
