    That's how my welding is. It's not great by any means, but that's how you get better is practice. As long as it's not going to be catastrophic if the weld fails, I'll attempt it.

    It's supposed to be 95 degrees when I get off work in a few hours, so we'll see. I may get started on the drivers side if I'm feeling motivated.

    Do the skins from alum. Can't weld steel to alum. Keep the weight down. Like you said, they're they to keep mud from getting in.

    The weight will already be lighter than stock doors, and I don't feel like spending money on aluminum. C'mon Joe, you know I'm cheaper than that. All my money goes to chick fil a

    I use to have great aspirations like that when I was at work also. But as soon as I got home and cracked open a beer, I was done. I suspect the same might happen to you also if it’s 95 degrees there.

    That's EXACTLY what happened to me yesterday. Was going to weld up some more of my propane tank holder but it was too damn hot.

    Seattle no AC required. It's not 95 degrees and 90% humidity like the east. I need to get back to MD someday.
