My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”

[Kronald_70GMC]

I went out in the garage again for a bit after work and tried my hand at some more welding. The results are very discouraging, I had a few small pin holes to weld up but when I try to weld them, my welds just seem to sit on top and and not get good penetration then the next one I try just burns a hole without even changing the settings. I dont know if it is my lack of skill or my welder or both but now I dont know what to do. I would like to get a tig welder but I cannot afford it. Maybe I should try practicing on some scraps and see if I can come up with some better results. Until then I dont really want to touch my cab again because Im just making things worse. If anybody knows of any good welding how to's, I'd greatly appreciate it. Here is what my welds are looking like now.
