Alright guys, I'm finally getting more of the rusted through floorpan cut out, but I need to know it this piece is structurally significant.
(IMG:http://mcchicken.homeip.net:2080/pics/2003-04-26/CNXT0009.JPG) It's almost rusted through, and I'd like to cut it out, but I don't know. If it is important, can I weld in some tubing a little in front of it and cut out what's there? All I know is that this is a huge project, and I'm really sick of scraping out all that tar shit. |

Well, it's cut out now, along with most of the existing floorpan down to shiny metal. Tomorrow morning I'm going to finish cleaning it all up, and hopefully I'll be welding by Wednesday. I won't be needing a replacement, since I won't be using factory seats. Thanks for the advice guys.
Curvie, I'm way over on the west side of the state, in the Holland/Grand Rapids area. Hopefully I'll be able to make some of the SMOG meets this summer. |
