looking for some welding advice from someone that might have far more experience than I do.
I cut out the rear floor in my 40 to replace it with a solid one. I had rust along the bottom of the vertical wheel well piece. I cut off the bottom 1 1/4” and welded in a new piece. I spaced welds 1” apart as I went and repeated up and down the 24” length I was working on. I think I must have rushed it a little because it turned out wavy along the bottom edge. I read that’ll happen if you work too fast and the metal gets too hot. Did I ruin it? Will I be able to weld it flat one the floor is in, or do I need to replace that vertical wheel well piece with a new straight one?
