Examples of "good" chassis welding

So I'm starting on a Haynes Roadster style car soon... I want to see some examples of good, tidy chassis welds to compare my work with - anyone want to offer theirs?

Here's some of my very first attempts and some critique

I'm better than I was, but still not brilliant.
One thing I would recommend is an auto-darkening helmet, and a 100watt spotlight on your workarea.

My dad made my chassis. The rust is from 9 years of being handled.

Its only surface and rubs off with emery cloth. Rescued attachment 013.jpg

Can I just add that Sprouts picture and certainly the exhaust headers aren't pictures of MIG welding because I presume that this is what you want.
