Welding up larger holes... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello All, just getting in from several hours of welding and grinding, not fun at all. Im working on some trouble spots on the floor of my 58. I noticed that there are additional holes in the floor, presumably from former owners who may have had different seats in it. Judgung from the molestation in the floor (that I just fixed), there may even have been bucket seat in it in the past! Anyway, some of the holes are pretty decent sixed, maybe approaching 1/2" wide, though I think they a bit smaller. THey seem a little too large just to weld up. In these cases do I need to cut out some plugs using sheet metal to close them up? Any ideas would be helpful.
