About to start my "quick resto" and am noticing now that carpets and noise tar are out, that the floors have some high areas (from running over stuff!). I swung a carpenter's hammer at it a few swings and the floors just laughed. I've got a 3lb hammer around somewhere that I'll try next..but getting a little dolly under it doesnt seem too helpful. Anyone got a better method?

I had the same thing in a few spots. If the spots are "well enough supported", like near the edge of where the floor meets the long like a couple of mine were, I ended up using a small sledge hammer to get them back to where they needed to be.
I also had a hump in the center of the floor. As crazy as it may sound, I ended up using a floor jack inside the car and was able to brace it against strong enough structure that I was able to force the floor back onto position. You could use a floor jack or two under the car to support the low sections and hammer the high sections back into place. Again, it may sound crazy but it worked for me. |
