That could be part of the problem, I know the brake drum is rusted up pretty good, plus my negative clamp had some corrosion. Perhaps the areas I cleaned weren't clean enough. I just know that no matter what I did, I got bird crap welds. I never could get that good buzzing sound, but I finally did when tacking on the new sheet metal.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!
