When you used your hand to brush off the ragged burs from the spot weld holes , it made me flinch.

For some of the misalignment you could try an old pipe fitters trick. I don't know if there's a proper name for it but its apiece of flat stock with a v-notch cut in one end that looks like a fishtail. Weld one side of the tail to one side of the gap and use the handle to pry across the gap to get alignment.

I love the clean and strip wheels instead of the wires wheels. I feel like they do a better job and are a bit safer. Either way, stay safe and have fun.

Hey Jeff I'll do ya two better on your next floor patch give "Steel-It" a try it's a poly weld through paint that your kids will love welding with it applied, an when done finish with "fluid film", you'll never worry about rust again, I gt both on the tropical river web site. Both are worth Their weight in gold.

Do you recommend gaps or no gaps when welding floor panels

So your pan is cut exact to the hole in the floor you make or is there any overlap?

So my main question is, how are you keeping from setting the underside of the car on fire? Serious question as I have had it happen while doing other repairs, like exhaust work for example..

is it better to overlap the old metal and seam weld to it or is it better to cut and but?. I am about to weld some new pans into my 70 fastback. Is cut and but strong enough?

@@stevenkryptonite1641 truthfully the cheap amazon batteries have lasted longer than the 2.5amp dewalt 20v batteries that came with the stem adaptor. Poor tools are wore out so I finally had to replace most of them but 10 years on the job site and 8 in the home shop.

@@Holledel I know I'm just throwing it out there to extend the life of a great old tool.. most of my old tools are still great but the battery situation sucks, I came across this adapter after I got the newer impact. So wasn't like I went out buying batteries. But helps keep an old tool running..

Is this complete? Tac welds are just the start, right? I'm not a welder, just trying to understand.

Not by a long shot. We still have to go in and complete the welds, but I want to be able to teach Jackson, the owner of the car. How to weld using that toe board.

You have made this job a lot harder than it needs to be first you should of used a strip an clean disk then used the cut and but method to put your panel in.
