So I recently sold my '73 1.7 and want to put that money into my '74 2.0. It does need new floors welded in. I have the floors thinking I was going to learn to weld and then just do it, but I have a bad feeling that I would make things worse. Is there anyone in the Knoxville area or surrounding areas that has experience with this and can weld in a new floor pan? If so what is the going rate for such surgery?
Thanks for the help!

Their were some folks down in Maryville for the longest time selling Teener parts exclusively. I don't have their contacts, but search the blogs here or use the GoogleKa Chew and do a search that way.
Separate PM sent your way as well...

Not that much further to Scotty B in Richmond, Va and well worth the trip. Hauled my from Memphis to him so Knoxville should be a breeze.

Only a truck driver would think 7-1/2 hrs is "not that much further"
Of course, Scotty does know the 914 inside out.
amphiduck - if you find a place nearby, let me know. I am in Seymour and will be needing some rust repair/welding done at some point.

I have a welder but I also have a fear of creating "Frankencar" Air cooled classics knew their stuff but were very VERY expensive.
