What do I think? I think it looks a whole lot better than a gaping hole! Looks like it should serve you well, a little cleaning up and some sort of coating to cover the bare metal. It wouldn't hurt to put something over the welds like a caulking of some sort to fill in the pinholes that inevitably happen welding thin rusty metal. I'd say job well done, keeping the old flivver going for a while longer. |

 Good job for a first time welder Tom. (Take notes Phil) Is there more floor to fix or is it time to move to cab corners and wheel arches? Post a pic of the whole truck Tom. B10Dave |

It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

Looks like a 1000% improvement to me. That's a lousy place to practice your welding but it looks like it have it under control.

| I see the rest of it looks good! Is that red oxide primer? I bought a gallon a while back and am planning on shooting my daily driver with it, should look better than white and rust. |
