madsquirel - No offense taken. I am new to welding, so I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get it quite right. I used a Hobart Handler (135) on its highest voltage setting (#4) and a wire speed of 40. Both the channel and the plate are .250 and the welder is only designed to do 3/16. Should I try making some passes over the existing welds or am I back to square one?

I'll try to get some pictures of the bumper welds tomorrow. They look a lot better since I got better as I went along. I really appreciate your honest opinion on these; safety first! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
