ok, I did the passenger side floor pan today after I got off work, before sundown(need more lights in the garage), removed all the tar(about 2 1/2 hours, a heat gun and a putty knife)
there is some funky "glue" looking stuff under the tar paper... what gets this off? aircraft paint stripper did nothing to it... there is a little rust along the horizontal support... where the tar met the weld... the area is very small, and doesn't extend "up" onto the cross piece... how should I fix this? I'm thinking of rust killer, and then weld in a little angle-piece for extra support... is this ok, or do I need to cut all of this and weld in a new piece ? here are a few pics, there are more in the BLOG, please give me your opinions...

I have your thread bookmarked, im in the same boat as you. Getting ready to replace my floorpans hopefully this next week.
Not to steal your thunder here, but when welding in the new pans, do you just stich weld every so often, or weld all the way around??? I'm jumping the gun a bit, I still have to get my tar up at the seams first.

Will need to invest in some metal ready and POR15. I already have the wire brushes in anticipation. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
