I would be sure to make something to bolt them to when you weld them, outside of that and not putting to much heat to them while welding I think you should be OK. I'm not a big fan of OBX but these seem thick enough that if you are careful, you should be ok. I will warn you in advance that if you crank up the juice when welding them it probably will still warp so be sure you know whats up.
