Then it's not really MIG, now is it? MIG = Metal Inert Gas. If you're
using no gas and flux core, then you might as well just be stick welding.
Stick welding isn't bad, it's cheaper and the only real drawback is that
you've got to chip slag off of your welds.
Either way though, just make sure you're getting good weld penetration. I
don't want to read something in a few weeks that you're stranded on the side
of the road because your homemade crossmember failed on you. Welding is
like a woman, little circles = win.
