It took a TON of fitting to get everything to match up nice and tight and get everything true. (there is alot of layers to deal with in this area)
This was a bit tricky to weld in... for I wanted to use enough heat to penetrate
the 1/8" plate, but not burn through the floor. Not the prettiest... but it should be STRONG...
Got good penetration through the plate...
When I was welding... I would concentrate my welding pool onto of the 1/8" steel plate area... then swing down and connect to the thin floor sheetmetal. This way I would get the penetration needed for the thick metal and not burn through the thin stuff.
