Quote: When rewelding a K-member (or sheetmetal), do you just weld on the outer ridge of both parts (like most do), or do you want to grind through the first sheet/part (between the org. spotwelds) and weld a bed there for a more functional weld?
I know the K-member is thicker gauge so it might not be that relevant, but on sheetmetal where 2 sheets come together I think it would be much more solid that way.

I commented earlier, but to answer your suggestion more directly, and if you mean grinding back and/or losing one of the flanges and then placing a weld at the new right angle intersection, IMO that would be a stronger, more efficient weld solution, however loss of one of the flanges might offset all the gains, not sure which then would be best.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
