I am currently in the process of replacing the floor pans in my 67 Camaro SS. I have cut the old ones out, and welded the new ones in with the sheet metal overlapping by about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. I started by using a borrowed wire feed welder. The welder had some problems and caused burn through as I could not seem to control the heat. I went out and purchase a wire feed MIG welder and finished the job with no more burn through although I now have holes that need to be repaired. Any ideas on how to best repair this? I have about 6 - 8 holes that range between 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. I can’t really cut the whole thing out and replace it as it is located at the front of the floor pan where it connects to the firewall.

I am new to this whole thing, welding included. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
NoClone

Just weld the holes up with your mig welder or wire welder. Start welding on the edge of the hole and just keep going in a circle untill the hole is closed up. , then grind down to suit.

I assume that I just need to dial my hear way way back to keep from burning the hole larger?

you can turn the amps back and wire speed up a little and basically "noodle" weld the hole then reset the welder and melt the filler into the surrounding metal.

Another trick that I learned was to use a Tig rod and put it in the hole, then spot it in with the Mig. It will fill the hole quicker, and the Tig rod will help "cool" the weld making it not burn through so easily-

NOCLONE you need a piece of copper [flatten copper tubing works great]
simply clamp copper behind hole ,and weld with mig on low. Copper will work as heat sink, and make weld flat on back.

GOOD LUCK.

If the holes are small enough, place a steel pop rivet in the hole, then weld it over. I have also used a small flat washer as a filler. Open the holes up just to the od of the small washer, insert washer to flush with surface, weld & finish.
