Hello y'all and thank you for the replies!
Thank you for pointing out how thin the material is I will be working with, as it was something I was wondering about. The good news is my welder is really flexible and it's not too difficult to swap out for a TIG welder head on it. The local tool rental place should be able to help with that. I don't mind doing fillet brazing either.
I do have some flat areas but it is a little hilly here and I did want to take it off-road a bit. I've head that same thing, but I'll add that I don't mind it too much. It'll just be extra exercise
