I have a "beavertail double drop deck semi trailer":

that needs some work done on its very tail end:

Some of it would involve "Overhead" welding, operating from below the
weld.

What is the easiest way to do it correctly. These would be welds that
need to hold up when a forklift or a metal tracked vehicle drives over
that tail.

We have solid mig wire and E71T flux cored.

Thanks

Good luck, you'll need it.

With my equipment and skills, I'd have to find a way to flip it over.
If it already broke once, tacking a bit more weld on ain't gonna do
it.
