hmm well i didnt weld it 100% but its about 80% of the cut is stitch welded and seemed strong. hope it works...although the leak didnt come back with a glass full of water but ill have to wait and see on the next rain storm

i didnt really take alot of pictures..but i practiced with the scrap i cut off from quarters. as far as the setting goes i just followed the chart on the lincoln. which is i think c-1 on a 120v(if it makes the difference)
as far as the technique go i just followed this video

but honestly. the first few tacks were shit. but youll get used to it real quick and get the idea of how long you can hold each tack. the worst thing to do though is rush. since i only rented a welder for a day(budget issues) i was in such a rush that my driver qp wasnt aligned and had a 1/4 gap all around thhat was a pain to tack. and it took a hell of bondo to get it "smooth".
