Here's one of my early welds on the trailing arms of the Vette (closed up stitch welds). You can't see sooo clearly but there is a kind of overlap in the weld. It's acceptable for the purpose, but not good.
This is what you're going for.

Those examples look like they're tig welded. A mig won't look quite that good. I use to think that my welds look decent until my brother had our friend Davi help with my dad's FJ40. His welds are perfect! But he has also been welding and fabricating since he was something like 12 and he 42 now.
