It sure looks like you are doing a pretty good job.

You were asking about welding and I'm no expert, but I have some pretty good experience welding sheet metal and light duty stuff with MIG.

It looks like some of your welds were not 'hot' enough. Or they were not penetrating enough. I saw the picture of your welder above and tried to look it up. Is it the Lotos MIG 140 with your giant bottle of Argon or Argon/CO2?

Have any of your welds burned through? Or any problem burning through when you are trying to fill gaps? If not...I would turn it up and see what happens.

You did a hell of a job wire wheeling that frame. I would have given up on that. I took most of my pieces to get sand blasted.
