More progress today, and amazing enough new hobart welding rods work 3000% better than the ones that came with the welder. I messed around with a few different thickness and type and quickly found the 5/64 6013's put down the best beads of the bunch for the little 110 welder! Here are some progress shots, note I added more to the passenger side, and went over the old welds with a grinder, the re-welded with some of the new rods.

Keep 'em dry, Steve. You need a tight topped container for storage, and a desiccant can in there doesn't hurt, either! Old school was to keep them in an old refrigerator (unplugged) with a light bulb on inside for heat, but construction job sites all use rod ovens - http://www.rodovens.com/?gclid=CLTK5...FYhcMgodFkQA-A
