Passenger Floor Removal pt 2

Today, Travis and I finished cutting out the floor. We then grinded down all the welds and re fit the panel.

We then re-drew the line in masking tape for our final cut. We left about 1/2 inch of the original panel on the inside so we could flange it and have a small over lap. While the floor was in place, I went under the car with a can of spray paint and sprayed the edges of the support brackets. This gave us an exact placement of the supports so I could pre drill the panel for plug welds.

We sanded down all the edges and spots that would be welded to ensure proper contact and fusion.

We flanged the panel on the inside and placed the floor pan for a final fit. Lastly, we riveted the panel in place. We should be able to begin welding next weekend.
