Hey gang,
As most of you know, I'm doing a frame off on 887. I'm now starting on
replacing the sill plates. I'm wondering if anyone else out there has
done this and have any pointers.
I just got the fiberglass side panel off the floor pan. Now I can start
to try and fix the rust and damage I did trying to get the sill plate off.
I'm trying to figure out if there isn't a better way to do the drivers
side. I think I told you that I rally butchered the pass. side "A" and "B"
pillers where they meet the sill plate. I couldn't really get a drill up
in there to drill out the spot welds. I ended up using a die grinder with
cutting wheels on it and cut the hell out of the area. I figured I'd fix
the damage once I could get in there and work.
I am toying with trying to remove the drivers side panel from the floor
pan before I try to cut out it's sill plate but I don't know if it's
possible. If I don't get any better ideas for you all, I'll try that once
I get the pass. side welded up.
I'm also working on an article about replacing the sill plates. But
since I haven't finished the project, I haven't finished the article.
Any thoughts you have on the subj. will be appreciated.
John
