Thanks guys!
and Bullit, ill be 16 in 3 weeks, and im a pretty good MIG welder, and i recently picked up a free Lincoln 225amp (220v) Arc welder, the old guy said it didnt work.....so i fixed the mangled up ground clamp with a new one, and it works like a dream! So i torn it all apart, vacuumed it all out, sanded it, and painted it IH red! I named her "Wendy" the welder, because i was bored one day

Ranger, In another post I made the comment that it looked like you were in the ~5% of "kids" that I have respect for (I'm an old goat myself), it looks like I was right.
You've done a really good job on your truck and teaching yourself a skill to boot.
Good job "kid".

Also, welding while standing in a puddle.....not advisable. Don't ask how I know.
