You're just welding in a piece of flat stock.
A caveat: Most write-up's on this show using the oil pan to hold the rails in place while you weld in the crossmember. I did this, and now my rails won't go back in, they're way off from the four mounting holes.
I need to grind out the welds and try again. I figure it must be because the holes where the oil pan bolts to get egged out over time.
So next try, I'll mount the rails on to the frame, AND put the oil pan in place, THEN weld in the crossmember.
