+10, wow those welds, If you want to call them that. I don't. oh, and where does that race go??

No love for my welds anywhere, they're structural, just not pretty. The race area has been coated with jb weld I needed to make up a 1/16 of an inch.

I'm no engineer, but I disagree.

I am a welder, and I disagree. That is straight up dangerous. Grind them out and do a continuous pass for at least %30 at a time.

Did you use a mig welder on that? Looks terrible and very unsafe.

Looks like MIG. I MIG from time to time, but I would not trust my welds if they looked like that.

it was done with a mig, I can prop it on a brick and stand on it, bounce around a little bit no cracks as of yet, its been thrown once no issues.

Wouldn't it be better to just tack it together and get a pro to weld it? Would be much safer. I don't know about you but i value my face, ribs, etc way too much to gamble on something as sketchy as that.
