The welding today went messier than I expected, I knew it was not going to be easy but damn, lots of things going wrong. First run was crappy, probably had bad settings. I punched a hole on the sheets more than once, and it's a pain in the arse to close those after they are done. On one of the last runs I even threw a small piece of metal on the hole and welded it on top, then grinded it down
Too long since I practiced, so I guess I should have expected it would be bad, but I managed to finish the first part. Not pretty, but it's solid, I'll just fix the shape with some body filler
