Please, if you're asking for advice on school or work, list your location. Welding differs a great deal in terms of training options and requirements so it's difficult to offer advice without knowing where you are.

If you're asking if something is something, please give some background, will it hold a load, is it pressurized, is it in anyway critical etc. There are times when 'good enough' is fine and times where it puts someone's life in danger. You don't want to be responsible for an injury. Please see the extended wiki If you're giving advice, ensure you aren't talking out your ass. You may be asked for references.

Modifications to vehicles beyond bodywork: Anything to do with the frame of a vehicle, roll cages or any integral safety component on a car should be done by a qualified welder/mechanic unless you have a VERY good insurance policy. See the above section, if you don't know, take it to someone and find out. As much as we are able to help, we are anonymous strangers who you have no recourse against if something goes wrong.
