If that is the case, gas will make all the difference in the world with your welds. Then things will click into place much quicker in your welding learning curve.

Oh, I must have forgotten to mention, but I've temporarily secured a gas cylinder from a fellow forum member. It is a lot better with gas, but I am at his mercy, so I won't always have access.
New lesson learned today: bodywork, if not all automotive work,
cannot be rushed. Trying to put everything back together today so I can drive (plastic and duck tape for the big holes). Getting very frustrated, I ended up blowing right through the rear hole on the center console using an impact driver. You do a crap job and can seriously f things up. This means, for me, no more work outside (weather) and I can't have any plans that include needing the car and I need to have time to work on it.
