Sully, you have made a good choice, when you switch to gas shielding and a different wire you will have less spatter and make sure you clean all your ( to be welded ) areas good with a grinder and don't weld over rust or paint or galvanize. I use .023 wire on mine and its great on car fenders to about 1/8" .
Happy welding and most hoods are shade 10.
One good welding tip! Clamp your work and tack at opposite sides.
