He's doing some nice work, is the floor pan butt welded? or lapped?

 

[roadwolf]

It is butt welded, once the weld are grinded, you almost can't see the joint.

I have to rework the bottom line of the left rocker panel which is not very straight, some hammer job should reshape it the right way.
That was all for a saturday job.
