Welding rear bulkhead strengthener

I am (among other things) installing new floors, rear bulkhead, bulkhead 
strenghteners and floor strengtheners on a '59 Bugeye.  

My question to the list is, "Do I tackweld the boltheads and nuts that are 
installed on the floor and bulkhead strengtheners so that they don't loosen, or 
does this affect the heat-treatment of the bolt and weaken the bolt?"  I am 
using grade 8 bolts and nuts.

Happy Holidays to all,

Gary Bouffard

P.S.  I have just become a first time grandfather, guess what his first toy 
car will be?
