I did mine quick and dirty...crossbeam wasn't rusted, so I just patched in a big piece of galvanized plate, seam sealed it to the cleaned bottom of the car and screwed it in with sheet metal screws from the inside. Seamsealed the inside, tarpaper and done.
Haven't the slightest idea how long it will last but if it continues to rust (the galvanized won't!) I'll know how to do it right!!
BTW, it looks like you butt-welded (hammer welds?) the new patch in, highly labor intensive!
Or did you use a flanging tool around the parent metal and set the patch into the flange and then weld?
