Okay, so I am now tediously beginning the job of removing my floor pans to
be replaced. i have started drilling out some of the spot welds and
thought I should stop and ask some advice. Is it bad to drill all the way
through both panels? I have not been able to consistently drill out the
welds, without doing this. How do you repair this later when you have a
hole staring at you.
i have begun to drill out the braces that go across the floorboard, right
in front of the seat. My next step was to drill out the sills and rockers
on the sides, (I will probably leave the rockers in place and just replace
the inner and outer sills, along with the floorpans. and then finally cut
the floorpans. What is the best way to cut the pans to allow for
replacement, and what is the best way of rewelding them, overlap?
butt-joint? If you don't have a spot welder, would it work to seam weld?
Thanks in advance.
