Your mounting plates need to be larger I forget the # of square inches. I think nhra is 6x6 plate min and scca will let you go up to 10x10 It looks like your stick welding it most sanctioning bodies want to see mig or tig. I would stop and do some research. then start over just chalk it up to a learning experiance

all the welds for the moch up were done with stick. as you might be able to see in the back of some of the pics we have an assortment of welders in my garage. and hey, we've only got a few hours on this thing, and that was with some trial and error. it would be no problem to make another
