55.2-59 Welding in Floor Trans Cover

[BBPanel]

Curious how many have welded in the bolt on trans cover to the floor. At the very least I'd like to seal the perimeter but when I started thinking about it and all of my other projects (that didn't have a removable trans cover) I can't think of a time that I said, "sure be nice if the trans cover was removable". Also makes it more difficult to apply deadner/insulation if its removable. Just thought I'd ask and see what others have done. -Bob
