Almost 
The middle bit is good. Edges I'm guessing you slowed the torch down? To make sure its weld and not grinder overlay (Grinders can hide little pinholes) just try and lightly cut into it with a thick grinding disc it'll reveal all
Gas flow is good no bubbling.
Amperage good it appears to have penetrated well
Wire speed seems good too
Will look like this soon (my custom gearbox mount)

I battered them silly with no budge. I still don't know where the limit is on things with welding. I have no experience to gauge from if that makes sense. That's why I want someone to check. So when I do it next I know what the weld should be capable off. You get me? Lol I am not being a pussy out of being a pussy lol I am being a pussy out wanting it to be safe

Get some pliers on them. If the plate starts to bend before the weld breaks you're good.I battered them silly with no budge. I still don't know where the limit is on things with welding.

I figured 1: its rough as hell.. I can't imagine it not having something to grip to. 2: they need to be acid dipped and sprayed otherwise I don't think they will last long. Do you like my two colour system I used the spare paint with no use on the back of the wheels lol. And chosen colour in the outsides. it was either white or red lol

Do I really need to wait 24 hour for this paint to dry before I can laquer ?Supercar is down a level... we're built not bought people
You're on hardcore rally style without primer
I'd go with a ...yes?
...I'd let it cure before making with the shiny, shiny
Edit:...Although....
Racecar!!!!! LOL
I do the same but force dry it with a hairdryer.
When you do the lacquer Chris 2 points:
1. Let the lacquer go tacky between coats, not fully dry
2. I find that I get a better shine if I force dry the lacquer with a hairdryer
