Re: Rivets or weld?
6011 is junk rod,made for rough dirty work,initially designed for chain link fence work,perfect for original sub rail repair. New fabrication? MIG,both for speed and weld quality.
Ford pioneered 'electric welding' in automotive production,look no further than your rear axle housing for an example of automated jig welding.As welding technology improved the riveting of steel waned..that being said,authenticity suffers if your inclined that way.
