Floor patch help
Getting ready to attempt this soon maybe do you guys overlap the patch or butt weld them in? Mainly asking about. Lets say drivers side front patch. Thanks

Re: Floor patch help
Ideally you would want to but weld them to keep it all looking clean and avoid areas where dirt and water can be trapped.
That being said, I lap welded all of my repairs simply because it was easier, and this truck is a weekend sunny weather cruiser, not a daily driver.
