So I decided I had to get something done and started on the spare tire well.
You know what they say: If you can't weld, rivet. Well that's what I say anyway. I did a patch above the muffler as well.

Welding Sucks
I ran out of flux core wire for my wire feed mig welder. So I opted to finally drop cash and pick up proper gas for it seeing as I had the regulator, wire, and everything else. $240 later I'm home with a big bottle of gas. I carefully read my manual and set everything up. About 13 weld attempts later and not a single weld that has penetrated anything. I have either a serious voltage drop problem in my garage, or I'm just doing something wrong. The previous night I'd been doing flux core welding with very little success. Two non-productive nights.
