Replacing Floor Pans, ...here we go! Options

[CptTripps]

Ok, so I've decided to just replace the entire floor, and KNOW that it's done right. I have a couple of questions. I couldn't find a thread that specificly addressed this. Tried a few searches, and got an IIS error. (I'd be happy to park the site on one of my Unix servers for free.) Anywho...

#1 - Anyone done this and had success? I've read the article on the Bird site, but I need pictures. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

#2 - Should I get the Front-Back or Left-Right type? I plan on doing the whole thing, but I don't have a rotisserie, and need to keep the car on the jack-stands. (I may have to take it higher to get under it.)

#3 - How much 'lip' did you leave to spot to? Or, should I put it in from the top, or from the bottom?

You guys in Cali get all the breaks...you have tons of people close by that can come 'help' AND you get to drive these year-round.

Any advise/help is ALWAYS appreciated!

Underneath the tub. You don't have to brace it as long as the longs are solid. It would be easier with the tub on a rotisserie. You'll probably want to place the jackstands somewhere besides the donuts to remove the pans.

That's what I was thinking. I'm going to go over the diagram that someone posted a while ago. I'm going to have to jack it up a bit first.

If I read Kyle Ehler's Article correctly, there are just spot welds around the outside...right? are the center longs just attached with paint? I think this is the way I'm going to go at it.

This is the last step before I can get the rest of the interior fitted, and start working on the bodywork. My wife is on call all weekend, so I've got 50 'wife-free' hours to work on this. =)
