hey guys-
I really need some opinoins on the welding i just had done. I went to a local shop to get C gussets welded to my dana30. The guy says he was a full time certified welder. I think the welds might be bad, note there are Holes in the welds, and it looks sloppy. Attached are some photos of the C gusset Welds. I am looking for honest opinoins form expierienced welders out there.
THank You.

I hope you didnt pay for that . Its one thing if a buddy in his garage welded it with a harbor freight machine. But a professional..... thats junk. Looks like it was welded with a extension cord and a coat hanger

Wow thank you for the truthful advice. I don't know much about welding, Please tell me what specifically is the problem because I will need to argue this with shop owner. Thank you!!
