I can either arc weld it with 7018 or 6013...

6013 is an oinky rod to run. Very prone to worm holes, hard to see what
your doing with it. From what I've picked up on even the Pros aren't
fond of it...

If you can run 7018 well I would go with that. Maybe multiple passes as
needed to match weld depth with thickness of the thinnest part.

If you make tacks here & there you will be preheating the part,
provided the final welds are done soon afterwards.
