Alright, you took the plunge. Now you can start seeing how this jigsaw puzzle will go back together. You may already know this, so forgive me if I mention it, but grind all of the joints where you are going to weld clean and shiny first so you get a good weld. Also, clamp the parts being welded to some structure like a piece of steel tubing to keep it in line after you weld it. Otherwise it will pull more than you can imagine.

I don't know your welding experience, and I am not a great welder, but when I was using my Lincoln welder I found some rods at Sears that they called "contact rods." I think they are powdered or something, because even I got pretty good results and flow. We have talked about these on here before, and some of the experienced welders had a numerical part number for these. Maybe these would help you.

Go to it man.
