Thanks for all the advice!
BTW, here are some reasons why electric spot welding seems worth doing for
this repair:
1: All the joints are flange-to-flange (i.e. no overlapping parts), and all
the flanges stick out, and are easily accessible.
2: I don't feel comfortable doing MIG plug welds on vertical surfaces
underneath the car.
3: Some of the joints have capping strips or trim going over them, so any
extra material has to be carefully ground off.
4: There are about 90 to 100 welds to do.
5: The spot welder is on sale :-)
