    See this is why I haven't installed my NWF case yet, so I can learn from all of you and long term reliability of cutting the floor out. It absolutely has nothing to do with my laziness whatsoever. :p

    This hack job... 20250722_123626.jpg

    I used what I had on hand and ideally the holes would have been great to spot weld but the gaps were too big. Couldn't see half the time either with my hood. Definitely some cold welds in there but it kept burning through to a minimum.

    Almost burned it to the ground but amidst the panic I for some reason put the fire out. Next time I'll back it out of the garage and into the street and grab some marshmallows.

    Kind of surprising you bashers are not seeing more of the cab/rear seam failures. Back in the day it seemed to be the first place to go.

    About like these days I guess. Welding here, sheet scabs there, even nut and bolt scabs.
