ok, as for the door, i used a grinder to grind the paint off of the part i was welding as well as the part where the ground clamp was going. and there was a chart with some speed settings, but i was not sure what size metal i was using so i didnt know what settings to use.

thanks for the help

pics are soon to come of what ive done.
