I finally made some more progress on the car this weekend -- finished the engine compartment side of the fuel line and Weber fuel bar replacement, redid the rear f/g bumper mountings (dzus) and pulled the seat to begin a bunch of interior stuff.
To mount my new seats, I will need to channel or completely remove the box section that goes across the floor pans (i.e. approx. under your knees). The seats will be on alloy sidemounts that are bolted directly to the floor, which I'll reinforce a bit. Question is, should I hunt down a plasma cutter or cutting torch (i.e. pay a shop) or can this be done decently with what I've got, i.e. just about anything else (cutoffs, grinders, drills, etc)??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I don't want to butcher the floors as they're fairly clean and I don't have a welder, either.

Slightly related...
What's the best way to reinforce the floor without gaining too much height? Anyone got any pics of the floor before the seats/side brackets are mounted? cheers, Jeroen |
