Welding on galvanized steel is pretty hazardous, all the galvanized coating needs to be removed from the weld area anyways so your best course would be to buy some uncoated steel components and then hit them with some cold galvanizing spray after the welds are done.

No prob, I’m not a master welder like my brother who does union steel, but I can do some basic welding with my small Lincoln 140hd, I might be able to help you or ask him to help me with his larger machines.  Shoot me some pics of what your project is.

Just grind off the small section you need welded and hit it with galvi spray, like mentioned above. The galvi spray is only good for touching up, not for spraying a whole assembly. I can do it this evening from 6-830 or Wed from 5-830?
