Correct Spare Tire Bracket Welding?

[7E-Bodies]

I'm looking at welding in the spare tire hold down bracket in the new AMD pan and wanting to know how the factory did it. I'm pretty good at making 3/16" plug welds look like spot welds, but wast sure if Ma Mopar laid beads on the sides of these or not. Feedback and pics appreciated.

And damn these pics turning sideways (but only sometimes)

Can't guarantee these are factor welds but here is what mine looks like.  I'm curious if that is factory myself, looks like I have some paint popping off that I hadn't really noticed as well.

My RT is original and it had beads of stick welding holding the bracket down. I'll try to get some photos for you.

This picture shows what's in my 70 Challenger.   Best I know, the sheet metal is all original.   There are 4 beads on each side of the bracket.   Each bead is about 1" long.   I added the red lines to the picture on the left to highlight the weld locations.  The weld locations in the picture on the right are pretty clear.

That's pretty much how mine looks as well.

Thanks!  Very helpful.

Yes: That looks typical. Small electrode stick weld probably.

Make sure the welds aren't clean and pretty. My trunk welds look like they might have been in a hurry to get them done.

Yup  she was never pretty

@headejm no problem there! There are welders and there are grinders. I'm the highest skilled grinder in Peoria County! lol.

I could say the same for Oneida county NY!
