Nice progress,

Be sure that you get good penetration on those main supports... Did you grind off the black primer before you welded? Looks like your MIG was "popping", do you have gas for it? I would crank up the amps, slow the wire down to mid-way and hit every bit of those main supports...

Also, You are still installing the A-post lower pillar piece right? That part in front of the rocker with the big hole in it...

Good luck, keep us informed of any issues, i'm two weeks behind you with my floor...
