I just started replacing my floor pans today. I've got
a question for you sheet metal people.
Where i started removing the floor pan against the
rocker panel, i ran into a question. It looks like there is
3 layers of metal in this area. I know this car has never
had the pans replaced so no extra metal has been covered up.
I have attached a picture of this to better explain, so
we'll see if it shows up on this server..if not i'll link a
picture. In the picture you can see the rocker panel is the
top layer, the remaining floor pan is the second layer and
the body metal is the bottom (third layer).
Question: Do you have to completely remove the floor
pan (middle layer) before installing the new floor, or do
you just cut out what you can, then bend the rocker panel
metal (top layer) over top and weld into place. If you don't
do it that way, it looks as if you need to remove the entire
rocker to grind out all of the old floor pan.
Help me out here if you would.
Thanks,
Kyle
