I’ve got my floor pan in the bed of my truck. I’m cutting up some sht tonight! Woohoo!
Hell yeah Dave! Party on!
So I got the floorpan cut out except for the edges tonight.
I cut it out in varying size chunks.
Here's a couple pictures of it cut out around the perimeter and along the subframe rails and trans crossmember mounts. Nicer than the flinstones car, if you ask me!
One with the new floorpan waiting to be installed.
Tomorrow morning I'll start drilling out the spot welds and removing the trimmings of the old floorpan. Then I'll start fitting the new pan and do the trimming it'll probably need.
While the pan is out I'll strip down the subframes and the inner rockers and yada yada.......
But.....you cut up the front cross brace that the seats bolt to....whatdya gonna do about that?
Why I guess I’ll weld in my new one that’s sitting on the shelf next to Booger if I have to.......Smart guy.But.....you cut up the front cross brace that the seats bolt to....whatdya gonna do about that?

It's doing fine. I was a little worried about that at first, but I have no other serious weight in the car that could flex everything (like the drivetrain).wow that's amazing I don't think I'd have the nerve to cut out the console area of the floor pan, hows the structure holding up?
