Red, My pan did not have problems with the construction of it. I scraped a hole in the bottom when I was giving my 300lb plus nephew a ride and bottomed out on some whoop-dee-doos...It is no fault of Cantons that I got a hole in mine. Droppoing the pan and welding it was not a major deal in the least. Should you decide to have your pan welded take it off and have it done OFF the vehicle. I decided welding it was the route for me since I have a welder and it was much cheaper for me to run a new bead than spend $400 for a new pan.
