Hi all. I am by no means a metal worker, so here goes.

I paid a guy (its always "a guy") to weld up my floors, and he did a decent job, but didn't weld the horizontal seam in the footwell. Since it is much easier for me to rivet than to weld, is that sound thinking? I can waterproof the area without any problem. All help/opinions/insults are welcome.

Thanks

Curtis
