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.

Hope this helps,

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.
