wow I was not expecting this much response. There was an article on fabo that had a link to one of the mopar magazines where they glued the pans in.
The used screws every two or three inches to pull the metal together and having all those screws under the car is a concern to me. I think the sheer strength of the bond is rated higher than the metal. I can weld and I do have a welder so I will most likely go that route.
Thanks for all the input FABO has been a great source for this project.
