I'm going over the whole area with short hair body filler then fiberglass and resin. I still need to clean up what I did on the driver side then weld the passenger side.
Maybe I'll post pics tomorrow... lol

Mig welding is pretty easy for someone to get into with no knowledge. Most of what it takes to get clean welds has to do with good prep work, that would be, removing oil, dust, paint, etc to get things down to bare, clean metal, and then to make sure your settings with your shielding gas, wire-feed speed and amps are inline with your metal thickness.
