Looks like you got that cab welded up. How do you like the welder?

The cab is not done, what you see in the picture are just some cross members that I welded between the sides to help welding the actual outer surface, that I haven't even done yet.
The welding machine is ok but I still have a lot to learn

You'll get it. Does the welder have a pulse setting? I find it helps to use it on the thin stuff sometimes especially with longer beads. I am using .050 5052 aluminum on the boat that I'm working on and it seems to weld OK but I definitely have to be more careful than with the .063 that I'm used to. How thick is the cabs sheet metal?
