    That looks cool. I think you need to be more careful with the spacing on your welds though. Looks like a couple are off just a bit. :D

    Nice clean work, I've always liked perfectly spaced tacks, looks frankensteiny.

    So you don't have to finish welding it up, just let the undercoating fill in the gaps?

    I think he's referring to the "space" between each spot weld.

    By the way... great work!

    I meant the places between the welds where moisture could get? I've never done this before so I'm just asking, not trying to be a jerk.

    I just wasn't sure what you were talking about. The sheet metal is welded to the top of 3/4 inch square tubing so there isn't really isn't a gap. When you spray it with undercoating moisture cant get through. I started doing my floors like that because I didn't have any sheet metal tools. Now I do it that way because I like the way it looks

    Heck yea, I like the way it looks too. I've never seen anyone do that, and I'm about to put a floor in my coupe and that's probably what I'll do. Nice job by the way!
