First of all, Keith's little writeup cracked me up!!!LOL Oh, I have done 
all of those things...AND MORE!!!
Bob,
I use stick to weld the tubes to the center section of 12 bolt Chevy and 
Dana rears for drag racers. I use All-state 275 electrode for high 
alloy, carbon steel or SS. it is the only rod I have found that is crack 
resistant. Of course, pre and post heating is critical for this type of 
work.
Other than that, I use stick when I'm building Bridges!!!

Come on down to Delaware and spend the afternoon welding all your heart 
can stand.
