Greetings, All;

This is my first post since joining The List a month or so ago, so bear with
me if something goes wrong....

I need to replace the full right floor in my '74.  I have the replacement
panel (Moss) and a friend who is a welding wizard (formerly certified for
nuclear work) but I'm a bit lost as to the exact procedure.  From reading
the posts here, I know that several of you have performed this task.  I'm
looking for any information that I can get.  Is there a step by step
procedure somewhere? (Yes, I'm one of those AR people who read the
instructions first.)  I'd like to do this with the body on the frame, if
possible.  Obviously, body twist and rocker condition are concerns, but what
else?  Is this a project that a bodywork neophyte and a welding wizard can
accomplish, or should I just cough up the $350 that the local LBC resto shop
has quoted me?

Thanks in advance.

Bill
