An example of how I kept the heat from warping the metal as I rosette welded the inner and outer rockers together.
(flipped) Passenger side outer rocker welds from the above method.
Note: If I could weld from the existing holes where I drilled the old welds out of, I did that. Here I had to drill holes to weld through in the inner rocker as I couldn't weld from the other side.

Rear torque box after welding to inner rocker. Note: I tried to get the welders ground clamp as close to the weld area as possible to aid in weld penetration.
