When I did my TR3, I used plug welds. I also have A Lincoln WeldPack 100 with
the gas kit.
I didn't use any weldable primer, I just painted the rockers inside and out
before welding them in. I drilled holes for the plug welds and assume the paint
burned off inside the rockers when I welded them.
I also used the 3M brushable seam sealer.
