Good to see some progress! Keep it up! And the welds look fine! Sheet metal is dificult.... and that's why they make grinders and flap disks.

What gas and what wire are you using? Seems like you’re under currenting your welds to prevent burn through. Thinner wire will allow you to weld thinner metal easier, some gases like argon\co2 mix will help too. And I see some else has also mentioned a heat sink. If you have compressed air, cool the metal down between welds. Residual heat gives you less work time before burn through.

What you are welding is very thin, and trust me there are millions of worse welders :-). Your fabrication is really coming along! A thick chunk of copper backer will help you chase down those holes.
