Stop in for a cup of coffee

And I'm back to a simple weld in the bars.. 1.5"X3"X1/8", laid flat so I don't have to cut the floors? Any other suggestions?
The only thing I could ad, which you prob already know and I had to learn the hard way, is that a wire wheel on the body doesn't do the job as far as preping. gotta grind or sand with a die grinder to get real fresh metal.
