I would weld them solid then use kbs-coatings Frame coat kit. You will need 2 of them to do the top and bottom of the chassis or one kit just for the pans top and bottom .

Also don't forget your weld seam sealer. I am a novice about this stuff but i hoped i help alittle.

Get a "Roper Whitney" hole punch to make your holes. You can snap a 5/16 hole thru your pan in seconds and it will lay perfectly flat. You get no burrs from drilling. Warpage will be kept to a minimum doing it with the punch and plug welding.
