I'll be sure tomorrow, but I believe the HF POS rods were the culprit.
I got a ride to Lowe's today and grabbed some 6013 1/16" Lincoln rods. Wow, what a difference.
The Chicago Electric welder seems to be doing a fine job. The majority of the weld is intact after using the chipping hammer. Also, I can pull up on the pan through the drain holes and the frame moves with it.
I'm so happy!
Spring break starts for us next week and it'd be really nice to get this thing on the road for that. Of course, the ultimate goal is to get it 'off' the road. The damn thing just doesn't look right without a few coats of mud on it.
I'm not a big fan of MIG. It has its place with everything else, but ARC is so versatile. It takes a little bit of practice, but I'm becoming much more confident with it. Can't wait to fire up the 230v Lincoln and fab some bumpers and rockers.
