After 3 weeks of having it, I can weld in patch panels and do an acceptable job (still have to grind down the welds a fair amount but am getting better).

My advice would be to buy a brand name welder (stay away from Chinese cheap stuff, hard to get the consumables and supposedly impossible to repair). Spend a little more than you want to and grow into the welder's capabilities. I am very happy I went this route and that I am now patching up my cab myself.

Good to hear that you caught on quick, hope I get the hang of it cause this cab has lots of spots rusting through.

So steer clear of Harbor Freight on welding equipment huh?
