Hi,

I have done the replacement _complete_ with complete removal of the 
original floor pans and then seam and plug welding the floors in.

The hardest part and the most time will be spent cleaning the flanges to 
get things FLAT for good welding contact.

In retrospect, if you have access to "cleco clamps", they are worth every 
penny for a job like this. I use 1/8 inch ones. Those and Vise Grip 
welding clamps.

It is easier if you can lift the body, though. You don't need to lift if 
clear of the frame, you just need wiggle room to get around "stuff".

regards,
rml
