floor pan progress..., opinions/what I did today Options

[tat2dphreak]

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 spoke with Dave @ GPR and he has those parts (back piece, and center brace). My rust was pretty much exactly like yours. I'm just going to replace them rather than fight with them. I tried several times to get a hold of Resto Design but havent been successful... I'm going to replace my floors too. Somewhere along the line, someone jacked up the car via the floorpans (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Could be hobbled back somewhat into its original shape with a BFH, but I want it to be "nice". Besides, that cutoff tool is so damn cool (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif)
