tailpan replacement??

I recently replaced my tailpan on my '39 two door sedan. I drilled holes in the flange and plug welded it to the side panels. I didn't get enough heat on it in several places and am in the midst of re-doing it. Is this the correct procedure? Do I need to tack it on the outside where it joins to the side panels also and grind it? Thanks in advance, Rod

Hey Zeke, thanks for the pictures. I think I got it this time. In addition to the plug welds I welded the inside and outside seams. It's solid as a rock. Thanks again, Rod
