So here’s my latest attempt at stitch welding some 22g to the piece of the new floor pan that I’m not using. I know I need some more consistent penetration, but my question is.....
If this is what I ended up with around my whole patch, should I be real concerned of the weld cracking?
Thanks for the input guys!

Here’s me next attempt. Ran a little hotter. Got my welds a little flatter. Ground down the backside, and I think it looks pretty good!

I think your headed the right way
maybe make your stitches a little longer
also antisplatter spray can help

I'm not an expert and am highly unqualified to advise you, however, I can say I'd be happy with those welds if I had done them. I usually just set the welder at the recommended settings and go from there looking for good penetration.

Thanks! I’m still waiting for my new seat brackets (found them at a place called Raybuck.com for about $25/30 less than LMR) but once I get them, I think I’ll weld them on and give this pan a go!

Got some garage time today and welded on my seat brackets. Not the prettiest, but these ain’t going anywhere (plus the seat bolts hold them in place too)

That was some decent penetration, baby

Do I get some rental cookies for allowing comedy time in my thread? Lol

After reading for so long that this should be my first mod, I decided to save $17, and I ordered my MM subframe connectors from LMR.
I figure this floor pan, and frame connectors, should keep me busy this winter.
We’re getting to the point now where Christmas and New Years will bring me right to the middle of January without much getting done. We’ll see what I can squeeze in.

Got a little done on the floor repair today. Had to weld in this strip to replace the rusted out piece that the floor pan attaches to. Not pretty, but is solid.

And as a side note.... if you buy the Harbor Freight welding blanket.... take it outside and give it a good shake before you use it.
I had fiberglass hairs flying all over the car for a while!

Here’s today’s progress before my bottle ran out. It also reveals my inevitable screw up. In the attempt to keep things simple, I cut it out in straight lines, forgetting that the pan angled in. So now it will rest my fab skills for that small triangle area.
