Bummer it happened. But, better now vs. w/the body installed.

I went through a couple different scenarios welding the pipe. Pipe to Pipe I welded it together like single burst tacking sheet metal. For pipe to flange however, I was able to hit high on previous weld and drag the puddle. And I was dragging the puddle equivalent to 2-3 spot welds. Great penetration this way through the thicker flange but not burning through the thinner pipe.

I ended up using my mig with mild steel .025 wire. I plan to paint the welds with high temp paint. I was buying mild steel pipe but the SS was same price.....
