Finally got to do some work on the V8 car I picked up, starting with patching the front floor pan to help air-flow.

Before, you can see the A/C hole under the muffler. Why would air go through the radiator when it could just go out the hole in the floor? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Trimmed up the replacement pan and the floor in the car. The opening was cut with 90 degree corners, so the metal was split about 2 inches up the corners.

Now the pan is tacked in, it's not lined up perfect but this will never be a concourse car. Not too bad for my first time doing any kind of body work. I do need to go back in with my wire wheel and clean stuff up. I keep melting tar and stinking myself out of the garage. Live and let learn I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
