Re: Body work advice needed

I too have experienced OP's problem.

My question is, what do you experts think about a lap weld in this situation? I usually butt weld like OP, due to the simplicity. But could he have flanged the lower piece in, and used a series of plug welds? Or is that worse because of the strength or potential for rust?

If we were doing this repair with epoxy instead of a welder, like is often done today, it would just be lap, or series of laps. But I guess the epoxy protects the seam from rusting.
